Idea College Prep Weslaco

Summary:

Idea College Prep Weslaco is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Weslaco, Texas, with a student population of 762 that is predominantly Hispanic (over 96%). This high-performing school stands out for its exceptional academic outcomes, consistently maintaining very high 4-year graduation rates of 98.9% to 100% and low dropout rates of 0% to 0.4%.

Idea College Prep Weslaco generally outperforms the nearby traditional public high schools, such as Weslaco High School and Weslaco East High School, on key metrics like graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores. The school's students, including those from Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-income backgrounds, often rank in the top 25-30% of Texas high schools on assessments, demonstrating the school's ability to effectively serve its economically disadvantaged population.

Despite the school's overwhelmingly Hispanic student population and high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (over 85% free/reduced lunch), Idea College Prep Weslaco is able to achieve these strong academic outcomes without significantly higher funding levels compared to the nearby traditional public schools. This suggests the charter school model may be more effective in this area, and the school serves as a model for other schools in the region.

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.
