Summary:

Wayside Sci-Technical Middle And High School is a public charter school serving 521 students in grades 6-12 in Austin, Texas, which is part of the Wayside Schools district, ranked 830 out of 968 districts in the state with a 1-star rating.

Wayside Sci-Technical Middle And High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 7 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.31% in 8th grade Social Studies to 54.84% in U.S. History, compared to state averages of 30.55% and 69.1%, respectively. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students have performed relatively better, ranking in the top 25% of Texas high schools in recent years.

While Wayside Sci-Technical Middle And High School's academic performance is generally lower than nearby charter schools like Idea Bluff Springs College Preparatory and Harmony School of Excellence - Austin, it outperforms some nearby traditional public schools, such as Travis Early College High School and Crockett ECHS, in certain subject areas and student subgroup performance. The school's relatively high graduation rates and the success of its English Language Learner students suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and a focus on equity.

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.

Open Quote This last year with the new administration and staff has been very poor. It is a result of poor parental collaboration, poor communication, lack of skills/knowledge for differential learning. I would not recommend this school. 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.
