Faith Family Master Academy

Summary:

Faith Family Master Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Waxahachie, TX, with a diverse student population of around 23-26% White, 26-27% African American, 40-46% Hispanic, and 5-7% two or more races.

Despite serving a high-needs student population, with 74-98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Faith Family Master Academy has consistently underperformed academically compared to the state and its local district, Waxahachie Independent School District (ISD). In 2023-2024, only 23-29% of students were proficient in reading, and just 7-25% were proficient in math, significantly lower than the state averages of 48-54% and 31-49%, respectively. The school's low academic performance is particularly concerning for its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups, which rank in the bottom 20-30% of Texas schools.

Factors contributing to Faith Family Master Academy's struggles may include its significantly lower per-student spending ($2,334-$12,950) compared to the Waxahachie ISD schools ($9,668-$11,674), as well as its inconsistent student-teacher ratios ranging from 13.6 to 16.7, higher than the 11.6 to 15.3 ratios at the nearby public schools. Additionally, the school ranked in the bottom 1% of Texas schools for its Gifted and Talented program in 2017-2018, indicating a lack of support for high-achieving students. While Faith Family Master Academy has maintained a 0% dropout rate in recent years, this may be due to the school serving only elementary grades, rather than a reflection of its overall academic success.

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.
