Founders Classical Academy-Bastrop

Summary:

Founders Classical Academy-Bastrop is a public charter school in Bastrop, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 10th grade. The school is part of the Texas College Preparatory Academies district, which has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Founders Classical Academy-Bastrop generally outperforms the district and state in STAAR reading assessments, with higher percentages of students proficient or better across most grade levels. However, the school's performance in STAAR mathematics assessments and end-of-course exams is mixed, with some grade levels performing better than the district and state, while others underperform. The school had a 5.1% dropout rate in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the state average of 1.9%. The school's free and reduced lunch rate decreased from 45.79% in the previous year to 34.95% in the 2022-2023 school year, and the student-teacher ratio improved from 12.1:1 to 10:1 during the same period.

While Founders Classical Academy-Bastrop has some strengths, particularly in reading proficiency, the school also has areas for improvement, such as mathematics and end-of-course exam performance. The school's higher dropout rate and changes in free and reduced lunch rates suggest the need for further analysis and potential adjustments to ensure equitable access and support for 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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
