North Texas Collegiate Academy

The North Texas Collegiate Academy district operates three elementary schools in the region, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share the same district, they exhibit notable differences in academic performance, demographics, and resource allocation.

The standout school in the district is North Texas Collegiate Academy-North Campus, which boasts the highest statewide ranking, the strongest academic performance, and the most diverse student population. In contrast, North Texas Collegiate Academy-South Campus lags behind, with the lowest proficiency rates across most STAAR subjects and a predominantly Hispanic student body. The North Texas Collegiate Academy-East Campus has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking and a more balanced racial composition, but still trails the North Campus in academic achievement.

Across the district, all three schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This raises concerns about equity and the ability of the schools to provide a high-quality education to all students, regardless of their background. The significant performance disparities between the campuses suggest that further investigation is needed to understand the underlying factors driving these patterns and to identify opportunities for improvement and more equitable outcomes for all students in the North Texas Collegiate Academy district.
