Winfree Academy Charter School - Grand Prairie

Summary:

Winfree Academy Charter School - Grand Prairie is a public charter high school serving 232 students in grades 9-12 in Grand Prairie, Texas. Despite being part of the Winfree Academy Charter Schools district, which is ranked 940 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school faces significant academic and operational challenges.

Winfree Academy Charter School - Grand Prairie has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools over the past decade, with its four-year graduation rate ranging from 32.3% to 56.0% - significantly below the state average and the graduation rates of nearby schools like YWLA At Bill Arnold, Arlington Collegiate High School, and Grand Prairie Collegiate Institute. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is also consistently below the state and district averages across all subject areas, with a proficiency rate in Algebra I of just 7.32% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 44.73%.

Winfree Academy Charter School - Grand Prairie's struggles may be exacerbated by its student demographic composition, which has a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students (81.9% combined) compared to nearby schools. Additionally, the school's rankings for special education and English language learner student subgroups are among the lowest in the state, indicating that it may be struggling to effectively support these vulnerable student populations. With per-student spending ranging from $8,365 to $10,327 over the past few years, the school may also face challenges in providing adequate resources and support for its students.

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.
