It was one of the district's first early college high schools.[1] It was originally named Early College High School at Mountain View College but was given its current name, after Mexican American community advocate and former DISD board member Trinidad "Trini" Garza, in 2010.[2]
Academic performance
From 2015 to 2018 the Texas Education Agency (TEA) gave Garza all seven distinctions for high performance for each year. In the 2016–2017 school year the TEA designated Garza as one of two National Title I Distinguished Schools in the state. In 2017 Garza's state test results in all subjects were 200% of the statewide averages.[1]
Demographics
As of 2018[update] it had 434 students, with 86% of them were classified as being from low income families. Corbett Smith of The Dallas Morning News characterized the number of the student body as being small. Brandon Leal, a 12th grade (senior) student indirectly and directly quoted in Smith's article, stated that, in Smith's words, the student body size was "fostering a sense of togetherness, with students banding together to help one another meet high expectations of college coursework."[1]
This list is incomplete. Italicized public schools are not in the "full purpose" Dallas city limits but have portions of Dallas in their attendance boundaries.
