North Texas Collegiate Academy-East Campus

Summary:

North Texas Collegiate Academy-East Campus is a public charter elementary school serving 253 students in grades PK-8 in Little Elm, Texas. Despite its small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade.

The school's STAAR test scores are significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was just 42.42% compared to the state average of 48.85%, and its 5th grade math proficiency was only 12.5% compared to the state's 48.96%. Additionally, the school serves a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 92.49% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, much higher than the state average and most nearby schools like D.H. Brent Elementary and Lakeview Elementary.

Despite the school's small size and resources, its performance has not shown significant improvement over the past decade. The school's consistently low statewide ranking and underperforming test scores across all student subgroups suggest the need for substantial interventions and support to address the educational needs of its diverse student population, especially when compared to other local elementary schools in the Little Elm Independent School District and Denton Independent School District.

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.
