Under Construction: The New Decade Brings New Changes to Duncanville ISD

Through the years Duncanville ISD schools have continued to achieve high scores on state tests, earning Exemplary and Recognized ratings from the Texas Education Agency. However, this is not enough. Numerous technological advancements have transformed the way we live, and at Duncanville ISD we are transforming the way our students learn. A Strategic Design Team consisting of teachers, community members, and administrators has formed a new vision for Duncanville ISD. Their work includes The Vision of the Learner and Five Strategic Aspirations.

A Call For Change.

Duncanville ISD has a proud tradition as the leading school district in southwest Dallas County.  While the world, and Duncanville itself, have changed dramatically over the past 30 years, our commitment to excellence and providing strong academic, extra- and co-curricular programs has stayed the same.  We are proud of our numerous successes, including local, state, and national recognitions.  Duncanville ISD schools continue to achieve high scores on state tests, earning Recognized and Exemplary ratings from the Texas Education Agency.

 But this is not enough.  In the past decade alone we have witnessed a number of technological advancements that have impacted our lives with the same force as the industrial revolution.  This new digital era of texting, iphones, Google, and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter make information readily available to everyone. Today, unlike in previous generations, the more knowledge you share, the greater your following and value. 

This is the world in which Duncanville ISD must prepare students to thrive, and we realize that doing so will require us to accept change and transform our schools.
