Summary:
The Texas Preparatory School district in Texas operates two elementary schools, one in Austin and one in San Marcos. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and have small student populations, with just 42 students at the Texas Preparatory School - Austin Campus and 31 students at the Texas Preparatory School.
The data reveals that both Texas Preparatory School campuses are underperforming compared to state averages. The schools consistently rank in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools, with the Austin campus ranking particularly low. On the STAAR tests, students at both schools underperform the state average in reading and math proficiency across multiple grade levels. The schools also have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population.
While the schools have diverse student populations, with significant percentages of African American and Hispanic students, they struggle to provide a high-quality education. The spending per student is relatively high, especially at the Austin campus, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The student-teacher ratios also vary between the two schools, with the Austin campus having a lower ratio of 5.1 students per teacher compared to 7 students per teacher at the San Marcos campus. Overall, the data suggests that both Texas Preparatory School campuses face significant challenges in improving student performance and providing a strong educational foundation for their students.
