Accelerated Interdisciplinary Academy

Summary:

Accelerated Interdisciplinary Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 127 students in grades PK-6 in Houston, Texas. The school is part of the The Varnett Public School district, which is ranked 377 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While the school has shown strong performance for its African American students, ranking 236 out of 2,444 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021, it has struggled with inconsistent academic performance overall. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 664 out of 4,260 in 2013-2014 to 3,608 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's STAAR test scores are generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the state average of 40.86%. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 87.4% to 97.02% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Parker Elementary, a public magnet school within the Houston Independent School District, Accelerated Interdisciplinary Academy generally underperforms in terms of test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that the school could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, particularly in mathematics and science, as well as strategies to support the academic achievement of its Hispanic and English Language Learner students.

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.
