Audre And Bernard Rapoport Academy

Summary:

Audre And Bernard Rapoport Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Waco, Texas, with a student population of 397. The school faces significant challenges, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's student population is notably diverse, with 41.81% Hispanic, 40.05% African American, and 12.09% White students. However, the school's academic performance on STAAR assessments is significantly below the state averages, with only 21.21% of 3rd graders and 29.69% of 4th graders proficient or better in reading, and 16.67% of 3rd graders and 7.94% of 4th graders proficient or better in mathematics. This is in contrast to the nearby schools, such as Hillcrest Pds Magnet, Provident Heights Elementary, and Bell's Hill Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates in reading and mathematics, despite serving predominantly minority and low-income student populations.

The school's challenges extend beyond just academic performance. With 81.36% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Audre And Bernard Rapoport Academy serves a high percentage of students from low-income families. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $9,388 in 2018-2019 to $11,877 in 2020-2021, yet its academic performance has remained consistently low. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges. Examining the practices and strategies of the higher-performing nearby schools may provide valuable insights for Audre And Bernard Rapoport Academy to consider in its efforts to better support student learning and growth.

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.
