Heritage Academy Of Windcrest

Summary:

Heritage Academy Of Windcrest is a small public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Windcrest, TX, with a diverse student population of 93 students as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its high per-student spending of $15,200, Heritage Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of North East Independent School District elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 2025-4487 out of 4,500-4,700 schools over the past 10 years. The school's academic performance is well below average, with only 21.43% of 3rd graders proficient in reading compared to the state average of 48.85%, and 0% of 4th graders reaching proficiency in math compared to 44.67% statewide. These significant achievement gaps are particularly concerning given the school's high percentages of economically disadvantaged (97.85%) and special education (top 10% in Texas) students.

In comparison, nearby schools like Royal Ridge Elementary and Sst Alamo achieve better academic results with lower per-student spending, outperforming Heritage Academy by over 40 percentage points in 3rd grade reading proficiency. This stark contrast suggests that Heritage Academy's struggles may be due to systemic issues in resource allocation and support for its high-need student population, rather than simply a lack of funding.

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.
