Summary:
The University of Texas University Charter School district contains a single elementary school, Helping Hand, which serves a small student population of just 22 students. Despite the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, University of Texas University Charter School is struggling to provide a quality education, as evidenced by Helping Hand's consistently low STAAR test scores and extremely low statewide ranking.
Helping Hand's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages in both reading and mathematics for 4th and 6th grades. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in 4th grade mathematics and only 14% proficiency in 6th grade reading, compared to the district's 20% and 29% proficiency, respectively. The school's statewide ranking is an abysmal 4622 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, Helping Hand is not translating these resources into academic success. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources at the school. Additionally, the school's predominantly non-White student population may indicate that socioeconomic and demographic factors are contributing to the school's poor performance, though further analysis would be needed to understand the specific challenges faced by the school and its students.
