Yes Prep - West

Summary:

Yes Prep - West is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Houston, Texas, with a diverse student population that is predominantly low-income and Hispanic. The school has consistently maintained high graduation rates and low dropout rates, outperforming nearby traditional public high schools like Hastings High School and Sharpstown High School.

Yes Prep - West's students generally perform better than the district and state averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and English language arts. The school's Asian and African American students rank in the top quartile of Texas high schools in those subgroups, and it does a better job supporting its English Language Learners and students with special needs compared to nearby schools. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and there are concerning disparities in the performance of different racial/ethnic subgroups, with the school's White students consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools.

Despite the challenges faced by the school's predominantly low-income, minority student population, Yes Prep - West is providing a quality education and setting its students up for success. The school's strong graduation rates, low dropout rates, and generally solid academic performance set it apart from many of the nearby traditional public schools in the Alief Independent School District and Houston Independent School District. However, the school's declining statewide ranking and persistent racial/ethnic achievement gaps suggest that there is still room for improvement and a need to address the unique challenges faced by the school's diverse student body.

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.
