Summary:

A+ Unlimited Potential - University is a public charter middle school located in Houston, Texas, serving 156 students in grades 6-8. The school's student population is predominantly African American (54.49%) and Hispanic (41.03%), with a small percentage of White (3.85%) and other racial groups.

Academically, A+ Unlimited Potential - University has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school average but still lagging behind their peers statewide. The school's special education students have performed well, while its English Language Learner (ELL) and low socioeconomic status (SES) students have struggled. The school has also experienced fluctuating dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 3.5% in recent years, which is generally higher than the state average.

Interestingly, nearby schools, such as Secondary DAEP and Yellowstone College Preparatory, also struggle with academic performance, while schools like Project Chrysalis Middle and Lanier Middle have significantly higher academic performance. This suggests that the school's academic challenges may be closely tied to the socioeconomic status of its student population, which is a common trend observed in many urban school districts served by the Houston Independent School District.

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.
