Golden Rule Charter School is a elementary school located in Dallas, TX, serving grades -1–8 and approximately 607 students. Operated by Golden Rule Charter School, the campus sits about 27.3 miles from The Dallas's newsroom and is part of The Dallas's ongoing local education coverage.
The school employs roughly 46 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 13.2:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.
Golden Rule Charter School operates as a publicly funded charter school. These designations affect funding, enrollment policy, and the kinds of state and federal accountability measures the campus is subject to.
State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. The Dallas publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.
