Austin Oaks

Summary:

Austin Oaks is a small public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in Austin, Texas, with just 25 students enrolled. Despite being part of the University of Texas University Charter School District, which is ranked 917 out of 968 districts in the state, Austin Oaks faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Key insights about Austin Oaks include its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (68%) compared to surrounding schools, its consistently low academic performance on STAAR tests, with 0% proficiency in 7th grade math and Algebra I, and its dismal 0% four-year graduation rate in 2018-2019.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,049 in 2020-2021) compared to the surrounding schools, the school has not been able to translate this into improved academic outcomes. A comprehensive review and improvement plan may be necessary to address the issues facing Austin Oaks and ensure that its students receive the education they deserve.

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.
