Summary:
The Beta Academy district in Texas operates two schools: an elementary school and a high school. While the Beta Academy high school is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state, the Beta Academy elementary school has seen a decline in its state ranking and mixed academic performance.
The high school has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2023-2024 and a 5-star rating in 2022-2023, with impressive test scores and a majority of students scoring proficient or better on STAAR exams. In contrast, the elementary school has dropped from 1472 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 2892 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, with its test scores declining compared to the previous year.
Both schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The elementary school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 21.2, compared to 24.3 at the high school, which may contribute to the differences in academic performance between the two schools.
