Advantage Academy

Summary:

Advantage Academy is a public charter school in Grand Prairie, Texas that serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic and African American. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 88.24% in the 2022-2023 school year.

One of Advantage Academy's key strengths is its high graduation rates, which have ranged from 88.9% to 100% over the past five school years, outperforming many nearby schools. Additionally, the school has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.4% to 2.2% during the same period. However, Advantage Academy's test scores on the STAAR assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science, with only 20% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.23%. The school's spending per student has also been lower than some nearby schools, ranging from $7,856 to $8,428 over the past three school years.

When compared to the nearby Universal Academy, Great Hearts Arlington, and other charter schools in the area, Advantage Academy performs similarly or slightly lower in terms of test scores and graduation rates. However, it has a more racially diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students. The school's high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.7 to 21 over the past three school years, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance challenges. By addressing these areas and leveraging its strengths, Advantage Academy could potentially improve outcomes for its students.

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.
