Heritage Academy Of Del Rio Middle

Summary:

Heritage Academy Of Del Rio Middle is a public charter middle school serving 226 students in grades 5-8 in Del Rio, Texas. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (94.25%), which is in contrast to the nearby public schools that have more diverse student bodies.

While Heritage Academy maintains an impressive 0% dropout rate, its students generally underperform compared to the state average on STAAR assessments, particularly in Reading and Mathematics. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 27% of Texas middle schools for ELL student performance. Despite spending significantly more per student ($7,990 in 2020-2021) and having a lower student-teacher ratio of 14:1, Heritage Academy's overall performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the past few years, dropping from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating in 2021-2022 and 2020-2021.

Compared to the nearby San Felipe Memorial Middle and Del Rio Middle schools, which are part of the San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District, Heritage Academy generally underperforms on STAAR assessments, despite its lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student. The nearby public schools also have a more diverse student population, with a slightly lower percentage of Hispanic students and higher percentages of White and other racial/ethnic groups.

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.
