The Pro-Vision Academy

The The Pro-Vision Academy district in Texas consists of two schools: The Pro-Vision Academy, a high school, and Pro-Vision Middle, a middle school. Both schools serve predominantly African American student populations and face significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance across a range of metrics compared to state averages.

Neither school can be considered a standout, as both are ranked in the bottom 5% of their respective school types in Texas. The Pro-Vision Academy's STAAR EOC proficiency rates range from a dismal 2.41% in Algebra I to 17.74% in English II Reading, while Pro-Vision Middle's STAAR proficiency rates are similarly low, with the highest being 18.97% in 7th grade Reading and the lowest being 1.67% in 7th grade Mathematics. Both schools also struggle with low graduation rates and high dropout rates, further exacerbating the academic challenges faced by their students.

Despite the high per-student spending at both schools, which is around $12,300 per student, the data suggests that the resources are not being effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement. The schools' consistently poor performance and lack of improvement over the past three years indicate a need for significant interventions and support to address the root causes of the academic challenges faced by these schools, particularly in light of the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students they serve.
