Summary:
The Bakerripley Community Schools district in Texas is home to two public charter elementary schools, Baker-Ripley Charter School and Ripley House Charter School, both serving grades PK-5. While the schools share a district, they have distinct student demographics, with Baker-Ripley Charter School being more diverse and Ripley House Charter School having a student population that is over 94% Hispanic.
Academically, both schools struggle, with proficiency rates in reading, math, and science well below the Texas state average. Baker-Ripley Charter School's proficiency rates range from 19.05% to 48% in math and 25% to 31.37% in reading, while Ripley House Charter School's rates range from 17.07% to 25% in math and 19.23% to 26.83% in reading. The schools' science proficiency rates for 5th grade are particularly low, with Baker-Ripley at 3.92% and Ripley House at 5.77%, compared to the state average of 26.29%.
The schools also face challenges in terms of resource allocation, with relatively low spending per student and high student-teacher ratios. Both schools serve communities with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these resource and equity concerns may be crucial in improving the academic outcomes for students in the Bakerripley Community Schools district.
