Summary:

Uplift White Rock Hills Prep is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the diverse, high-poverty area of Dallas, Texas. With a student population that is 69.4% Hispanic and 89.1% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces significant challenges in serving its community effectively.

Despite being part of the Uplift Education district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Uplift White Rock Hills Prep consistently underperforms the state and district averages on STAAR reading, math, and science proficiency. The school ranks between 2417-3290 out of 4578-4675 Texas elementary schools, and has received a 1-2 star rating, indicating below average performance. Certain student subgroups, such as African American, male, special education, and English language learners, struggle the most, ranking in the bottom 40-50% of Texas elementary schools.

In contrast, the nearby East Grand Preparatory Academy charter school outperforms Uplift White Rock Hills Prep and the Dallas ISD average on most metrics, ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, the two Montessori-model schools in the area demonstrate stronger academic performance, particularly in reading, than Uplift White Rock Hills Prep. While the school spends around $9,000 per student, which is lower than the $11,000-$13,000 spent by nearby Dallas ISD schools, it is still higher than the $10,000 spent by the charter school.

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.

The car line here is atrocious and dangerous. They clog up streets and highways. There are parents and others speeding and swerving, threatening other people, and interrupting local businesses. The staff says to deal with it. 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.
