Yes Prep - Northside

Summary:

Yes Prep - Northside is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in the diverse, predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged neighborhood of Houston, Texas. With a student population of around 1,000, the school is part of the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc. district, which has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Yes Prep - Northside maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, with student performance on STAAR assessments generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and social studies. However, the school performs better in certain subject areas, such as English II Reading, and serves certain student subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, better than the overall student population. Compared to nearby traditional public high schools, Yes Prep - Northside outperforms some, such as Wheatley High School and Kashmere High School, but lags behind high-performing nearby charter schools like North Houston Early College High School and Yes Prep - 5th Ward.

Yes Prep - Northside serves a high-needs student population, with nearly 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby traditional public schools. The school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 17:1, which is comparable to or better than many of the nearby schools, but spends around $10,500 per student, slightly higher than the state average but lower than some nearby traditional public schools.

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.
