George I Sanchez Charter

Summary:

George I Sanchez Charter is an alternative public charter school in Houston, Texas that serves grades PK-12 with a student population of around 600, predominantly Hispanic students from high-need backgrounds.

While the school has seen improvements in its graduation and dropout rates in recent years, its academic performance remains a significant challenge. George I Sanchez Charter's proficiency rates on state assessments lag far behind the state averages, with only 0-22% of students meeting grade-level standards in reading and 0-10% in math, compared to state averages of 48-60% in reading and 32-45% in math. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools. When comparing George I Sanchez Charter to other schools in the area, it is clear that the school is struggling to provide the level of academic support and resources needed to help its high-need student population succeed.

Interestingly, the nearby Texas Connections Academy At Houston, Harmony Virtual Academy, and T.H. Rogers School all have significantly higher test scores and graduation rates than George I Sanchez Charter, despite serving similar demographics. The nearby traditional public schools, such as Soar Center and Community Services-Sec, also struggle with low performance and high dropout rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by George I Sanchez Charter may be systemic within the Houston Independent School District.

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.
