Idea Public Schools


Summary:

The Idea Public Schools district in Texas operates 116 schools, including 61 elementary, 23 middle, and 32 high schools, serving students across various cities. The district's schools demonstrate a wide range of performance, with some standout campuses like Idea Quest Academy and Idea Riverview College Preparatory ranking among the top 5% of Texas schools, while others struggle to meet state averages.

Economically disadvantaged students make up a significant portion of the district's population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 70-98%. This presents unique challenges, but the district's highest-performing schools, such as Idea McAllen College Preparatory and Idea Carver College Preparatory, demonstrate that students can excel despite these circumstances. However, the district as a whole lags behind state averages in math and science proficiency, suggesting opportunities to strengthen STEM education.

The wide variation in performance across Idea Public Schools points to the critical role of school leadership, teacher quality, and overall school culture in driving student success. By identifying and replicating the best practices of the district's highest-performing campuses, Idea Public Schools can work to raise achievement and provide a high-quality education for all of its students.
