Uplift Atlas Preparatory - Middle faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,390 and 1,870 out of around 2,300 schools over the past several years. Its performance on STAAR tests is also below the state and Uplift Education district averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (89.77%), and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (91.36% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). Notably, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students consistently performing below their peers at the state and district levels.

Compared to nearby public schools, such as J.L. Long Middle and Ignite Middle, which are part of the Dallas Independent School District, Uplift Atlas Preparatory - Middle's performance is generally lower. However, the school performs better than some other nearby charter schools, like Uplift Luna Secondary School, which is also part of the Uplift Education district. Despite spending more per student ($9,533 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, the school's performance remains below average, suggesting a need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies.

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.
