Classical Academy - Permian Basin

Summary:

Classical Academy - Permian Basin is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Midland, Texas, which is part of the Midland Independent School District (Isd). The school has seen a shift in its racial makeup, with the percentage of White students decreasing and the percentage of Hispanic students increasing over the past few years.

While the school has some strengths, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio and better-than-average performance on reading tests compared to nearby Rusk Elementary, Barbara Yarbrough Elementary, and other Midland ISD schools, it faces several challenges. The school's performance on mathematics, science, and social studies tests has been significantly lower than the district and state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined over the years. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in its dropout rate and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

The school's leadership and the Texas College Preparatory Academies district will need to address these issues to ensure the continued success of the school and its students. The demographic shifts and declining academic performance, particularly in mathematics, are areas of concern that will require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
