Tekoa Academy Of Accelerated Studies - Orange

Summary:

Tekoa Academy Of Accelerated Studies - Orange is a small public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Orange, Texas, with a student population of just 68 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly African American student body, making up 82.35% of the enrollment, with 11.76% White and 5.88% two or more races.

Tekoa Academy has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with some bright spots like higher 3rd grade reading proficiency compared to the state average, but struggles in other areas like 5th grade reading. The school's rankings among Texas elementary schools have been inconsistent, ranging from a high 5-star rating in 2013-2014 to a 0-star rating in 2020-2021. While the school's African American students performed relatively well, it struggled with its male students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Tekoa Academy maintains a 0% dropout rate, which is positive, but its lower spending per student compared to nearby Oak Forest Elementary, Deweyville Elementary, and other local public schools may be a factor in its performance challenges.

Overall, Tekoa Academy Of Accelerated Studies - Orange presents a mixed picture, with areas of strength like its African American student performance and low dropout rates, but also significant challenges in terms of inconsistent academic achievement and struggles with certain student subgroups. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the school's performance. Parents considering this school should also explore other options in the Vidor Independent School District (Isd), Deweyville Independent School District (Isd), Little Cypress-Mauriceville Consolidated Independent School, Orangefield Independent School District (Isd), Bridge City Independent School District (Isd), and West Orange-Cove Consolidated Independent School District to find the best fit for their child's educational needs.

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.
