Summary:
The Academy For Academic Excellence district in Texas is home to two public charter high schools serving grades 5-12 and 7-12: Dallas County Juvenile Justice and Medlock Youth Village. Unfortunately, neither of these schools appear to be standout performers, with both ranking in the bottom 5% of Texas high schools and receiving a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data reveals that both schools serve a predominantly minority student population, with over 90% of students identifying as African American or Hispanic. Additionally, 100% of students at these schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. Academically, the schools perform well below the state average on STAAR/EOC assessments, with proficiency rates as low as 0% in some subject areas and grade levels. Despite high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools have struggled to improve their performance over the past three school years.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the educational opportunities available to students in the Academy For Academic Excellence district. Significant and sustained efforts will be required to address the systemic challenges facing these schools and provide their students with the quality education they deserve.
