Education Center International Academy 3

Summary:

Education Center International Academy 3 is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Royse City, TX, with a student population of 129 and is part of the Education Center International Academy district, which is ranked 528 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating.

While Education Center International Academy 3 has a significantly higher percentage of White students (70.54%) compared to the surrounding schools, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating in recent years. This is in contrast to the higher-performing nearby schools like Celia Hays Elementary and Lupe Garcia Elementary, which are ranked in the top quartile and have 4-5 star ratings. The school's STAAR Reading, Math, and Science proficiency rates lag behind the state and nearby school averages across all grade levels, and the percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients has increased, indicating a growing population of students from low-income families.

Education Center International Academy 3's statewide ranking has steadily declined, and the school faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with achievement gaps across racial and gender lines. Comparing the school to its higher-performing neighbors, such as Rockwall Independent School District (ISD) and Royse City Independent School District (ISD), highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to help Education Center International Academy 3 better serve its students and community.

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.
