Nova Academy Prichard

Summary:

Nova Academy Prichard is a public charter elementary school serving 352 students in grades PK-8 in Dallas, Texas. The school has a predominantly Hispanic (63.35%) and African American (33.81%) student population and is part of the Nova Academy Southeast district, which is ranked 495 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's high poverty rate, with over 90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Nova Academy Prichard has consistently underperformed academically compared to the state and nearby schools. The school's STAAR assessment scores in reading, math, science, and social studies are significantly below the state average across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading was just 21.43%, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance is particularly low for male students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 20-30% of their respective statewide cohorts.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Inspired Vision Academy Elementary, Frank Guzick Elementary, and Adelfa Botello Callejo Elementary, which serve similar student populations, generally outperform Nova Academy Prichard on STAAR assessments. Despite a significant increase in per-student spending at Nova Academy Prichard, from $2,836 in 2018-2019 to $9,652 in 2020-2021, the school's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that the increased funding may not be effectively translating into better student outcomes.

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.
