Summary:
The Step Charter School district in Texas operates two elementary schools: Step Charter II and Step Charter Elementary. Both schools serve students in grades K-5 and have a majority Hispanic student population, with high percentages of economically disadvantaged students.
Based on the data, Step Charter Elementary appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, better SchoolDigger rating, and stronger proficiency rates on STAAR tests across grade levels and subject areas compared to Step Charter II. Step Charter Elementary also has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, which may contribute to its academic success.
Both schools face challenges, such as low proficiency in STAAR Science and Social Studies, but Step Charter Elementary is able to achieve stronger overall academic outcomes despite the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The performance gap between the two schools suggests there may be differences in instructional quality, resources, or other factors that contribute to the disparity in student achievement.
