Arrow Academy - Champions Academy

Summary:

Arrow Academy - Champions Academy is a small public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in Houston, Texas, with a predominantly African American student population of 66 students as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Over the past several years, this school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking and performance on STAAR assessments, falling from a ranking of 857 out of 4,479 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to a ranking of 4,021 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly concerning for its African American and low-income students, who rank in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. Proficiency rates on STAAR assessments are significantly lower than the state and Klein Independent School District (Isd) averages, with the school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate at just 33.33% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 48.85% and the district average of 39.02%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Kaiser Elementary, which is 2.66 miles away, Arrow Academy - Champions Academy stands out as an underperforming institution, with lower proficiency rates and worse statewide rankings. The school's high poverty rate, with 65.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, likely contributes to its academic challenges. Additionally, the school's enrollment has decreased from 66 students in 2022-2023 to 66 students in 2023-2024, indicating a potential lack of community interest or confidence in the school's performance.

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.
