Idea Pflugerville College Preparatory

Summary:

Idea Pflugerville College Preparatory is a public charter secondary school serving grades 6-11 in Pflugerville, Texas, part of the Austin Independent School District (Isd). The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Idea Pflugerville has relatively low dropout rates, its test scores on the STAAR assessments are generally lower than the Idea Public Schools district average and the Texas state average across various subjects and grade levels. The school's spending per student has also decreased over the past few years, and its student-teacher ratio is higher than the nearby Hutto Ninth Grade Center. These factors suggest a need to address academic performance and optimize resource allocation to improve educational outcomes for the predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

Compared to other schools in the area, such as the International High School, Idea Pflugerville has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students. While this diversity is a positive attribute, the school's academic challenges, including lower test scores in math and science, indicate a need for targeted strategies to support student learning and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
