Summary:

Texans Can Academy - Carrollton-Farmers Branch is a public charter high school serving 319 students in grades 9-12 in Farmers Branch, Texas, and is part of the Texans Can Academies district, which is ranked 952 out of 968 districts in the state.

Compared to the surrounding schools, such as Thomas Jefferson High School, Ranchview High School, and W T White High School, which are part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District, Texans Can Academy - Carrollton-Farmers Branch has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (90.28%), extremely low 4-year graduation rates (ranging from 9.1% to 24%), very high dropout rates (ranging from 11.1% to 38.1%), and consistently poor performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams (with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 31% across all subjects and years). The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.45% to 99.06%.

Texans Can Academy - Carrollton-Farmers Branch is consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Texas, with a statewide ranking between 1641 and 1956 out of 1987 high schools over the past 5 years, and has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of this period. The school's poor performance is particularly concerning for subgroups such as Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of Texas high schools in these categories. These findings suggest that the school is struggling to effectively serve its predominantly low-income, Hispanic student population and may require significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.

Open Quote WORST JOB EVER, TEACHERS AND THE PRINCIPAL HERE WILL BULLY YOU AND MICROMANAGE YOU TO DEATH. Also, if you are a teacher intern and are looking for a job DO NOT ACCEPT ANY JOB FROM HERE. The principal here is very proud of herself because (I quote): “I’ve had over 50 teacher interns working here in my school and I’ve just passed 4 of them.” Like, don’t risk your certification in a school where you’re going to be harassed and over worked and then they’ll not help you with your certification. Also, they will scream at you at treat you very badly. THIS SCHOOL IS A SCAM, for teachers and students RUN AWAY FROM HERE. Close Quote

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.
