Summary:
The Inspire Academies district in Texas operates four high schools that are struggling to provide a quality education to their students. With enrollment ranging from just 16 to 61 students, these small schools have consistently low test scores, high dropout rates, and poor statewide rankings.
None of the four high schools - Rockdale Inspire Academy, Bell County Inspire Academy, Hays Inspire Academy, and Rise Inspire Academy - stand out as high-performing schools. All four have test scores well below state averages, with many grade levels and subjects reporting 0% proficiency rates. Graduation rates are extremely low, with one school reporting a 0% four-year graduation rate, while dropout rates are alarmingly high.
Despite spending between $20,473 and $26,329 per student, which is higher than the state average, the Inspire Academies high schools are not achieving the desired academic outcomes. The small school sizes and varying racial compositions also raise concerns about equity and access issues within the district. Significant improvements are needed across the board to provide students with a quality education and better prepare them for success.
