Uplift Grand High School has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 84.02% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Its graduation rate is higher than Winfree Academy Charter School - Grand Prairie, but lower than Ywla At Bill Arnold and Grand Prairie Collegiate Institute.

Uplift Grand High School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, has been mixed compared to the Uplift Education district and the state of Texas. The school has performed better than the district and state in some subjects, such as Biology and English II Reading, but has struggled in others, like Algebra I and English I Reading. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the fluctuations in student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. Continued focus on improving test scores, especially in core subjects, could help the school better serve its diverse 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.
