High Schools in Southwest Preparatory School

The Southwest Preparatory School district in Texas is home to two high schools: Southwest Preparatory School-Northwest and Northeast Campus. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, with both schools reporting high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While both schools face challenges in academic performance, as evidenced by their underperformance on state assessments compared to the state average, Northeast Campus appears to have stronger academic outcomes in certain grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, Northeast Campus outperformed Southwest Preparatory School-Northwest in 7th grade reading and math proficiency. Additionally, Northeast Campus has a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 6.9, compared to 9.1 at Southwest Preparatory School-Northwest, which may contribute to its academic advantages.

Notably, both schools demonstrate strong graduation rates, with Southwest Preparatory School-Northwest at 91.7% and Northeast Campus at 100% for the 2022-2023 school year, exceeding the state average. Similarly, dropout rates are low, with Southwest Preparatory School-Northwest at 5.4% and Northeast Campus at 0% for the 2021-2022 school year. These positive outcomes suggest the schools are effectively supporting students to complete their high school education, despite the challenges they face in serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged population.
