Summary:
Academy of Accelerated Learning is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the Academy Of Accelerated Learning Inc district in Houston, Texas. With an enrollment of 850 students, the school has a predominantly Hispanic (62.82%) and African American (32.82%) student population and a high percentage (94.35%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage.
Academically, Academy of Accelerated Learning faces challenges, with proficiency rates on the STAAR exams generally below the state average, particularly in science and social studies. However, the school stands out for its high Algebra I proficiency rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite these academic struggles, the school maintains a low dropout rate of 0.9%.
While Academy of Accelerated Learning has been ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools for the past three years and holds a 2-star rating, the school's diverse student population and focus on advanced mathematics coursework suggest areas of potential growth. Addressing the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population and implementing effective strategies to improve learning outcomes across all subject areas could be key priorities for the school moving forward.
