Heritage Academy

Summary:

Heritage Academy is a small, diverse public charter middle school in Windcrest, Texas, serving 27 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Heritage Academy District, which is ranked 539 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heritage Academy has a more racially diverse student population compared to nearby public schools, with 29.63% White, 22.22% African American, and 48.15% Hispanic students. However, the school has shown mixed performance on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates generally lower than the state averages. Despite this, Heritage Academy has performed well for certain student subgroups, ranking 87 out of 2,221 Texas middle schools for female students and 61 out of 2,182 for at-risk students, both with a 5-star rating. The school also has had low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 2.4% over the past few years, which is better than the nearby public schools like White Middle and Krueger Middle.

While Heritage Academy's overall academic performance has been inconsistent, the school's small size and high spending per student (ranging from $7,932 to $13,348) suggest it may have the potential to improve with the right strategies and support. The school's strengths in serving certain student subgroups, such as female and at-risk students, indicate it could be a good fit for families seeking a more personalized educational experience, despite the challenges it has faced in maintaining consistent academic achievement across all 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.
