Texans Can Academy - Austin

Summary:

Texans Can Academy - Austin is a public charter high school in Austin, Texas, serving 265 students in grades 9-12, with a predominantly Hispanic student population. However, the school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools over the past 7 years and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The key challenges facing Texans Can Academy - Austin include extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 6.0% to 22.7% over the past 5 years, and alarmingly high dropout rates, ranging from 11.6% to 44.9% during the same period. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is also significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from just 4.48% to 20.37% in 2023-2024. These struggles are particularly concerning given that 85.66% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need population.

While some nearby schools, such as Lasa High School, demonstrate high academic performance, others, like Eastside Early College High School, also struggle with low achievement. This highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to the success or failure of schools in the Austin area, and the potential for Texans Can Academy - Austin to improve with targeted interventions and additional resources to better serve its student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
