University Of Texas University Charter School

The University Of Texas University Charter School district consists of 15 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 10 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 846 out of 968 in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Olympia Hills, the district's middle school, has consistently ranked among the top 100 middle schools in Texas and boasts a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, with strong test scores in reading and math. Settlement Home, a high school, has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating, and has relatively strong test scores in biology, English, and U.S. history. In contrast, several schools, including Methodist Children's Home, Ut - University Charter School At High Point, and Georgetown Behavioral Health Institute, have very low or 0% four-year graduation rates and relatively high dropout rates.

The district's overall performance on STAAR/STAAR EOC assessments is well below the state average, with 8th-grade reading proficiency ranging from 13-28%, compared to the state average of 54%. Spending per student also varies widely, from $10,955 at Cedar Crest to $31,392 at Tnc Campus (Texas Neurorehabilitation Center). These findings suggest that the district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population, but also highlights the potential for improvement, as seen in the standout performance of schools like Olympia Hills and Settlement Home.
