Summary:
The Cityscape Schools district in Texas has two elementary schools - East Grand Preparatory Academy and Buckner Preparatory. These schools serve high-need student populations, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the challenges faced by the broader Cityscape Schools district.
While both schools struggle with math proficiency, Buckner Preparatory stands out for its stronger academic performance, particularly in reading. In 2023-2024, Buckner Preparatory had higher reading proficiency rates than the district and state averages for grades 3-7, while East Grand Preparatory Academy fell below the district and state averages across most grade levels. This suggests there may be differences in instructional practices or other factors contributing to the performance gap between the two schools.
The racial/ethnic composition of the schools is similar, with a majority Hispanic student population and relatively low percentages of White and Asian students. However, East Grand Preparatory Academy has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (83.39%) compared to Buckner Preparatory (72.51%). This reflects the demographic makeup of the broader Cityscape Schools district.
