Academy For Academic Excellence


Summary:

The Academy For Academic Excellence district in Texas operates two high schools: Dallas County Juvenile Justice and Medlock Youth Village. Both schools serve high-poverty student populations and consistently perform well below state averages on academic assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 22% compared to state averages of 45% to 69%. Despite high per-student spending, the schools have failed to show meaningful improvement over time, with both ranked among the lowest in the state.

Student demographics at the two schools are similar, with a majority African American and Hispanic student populations. Graduation rates are also extremely low, with Dallas County Juvenile Justice reporting a 0% four-year graduation rate for the 2018-2019 school year. The schools' dropout rates, however, are also 0%, suggesting that while students are not graduating, they are also not leaving the schools altogether.

The data indicates that the Academy For Academic Excellence district faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Addressing the systemic issues at Dallas County Juvenile Justice and Medlock Youth Village will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the student populations served by these schools.
