Yes Prep North Forest

Summary:

Yes Prep North Forest is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in the high-need area of North Forest in Houston, Texas, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic and African American, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Yes Prep North Forest has maintained relatively high graduation rates and low dropout rates compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance also varies significantly across student subgroups, with its English Language Learner students performing in the top 15% of Texas high schools, but its Special Education students ranking in the bottom 20%. When compared to nearby schools, Yes Prep North Forest generally outperforms the traditional public high schools in the area, such as North Forest High School and Kashmere High School, but lags behind the performance of other charter schools in the region, such as Yes Prep - Northline and KIPP Northeast College Preparatory.

The school's declining performance over the past few years, as evidenced by its drop in statewide rankings, and the significant equity concerns highlighted by the performance disparities across student subgroups, particularly for its African American, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, suggest that the school may need to focus more on addressing these challenges and strengthening its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to better serve its diverse student population. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to help Yes Prep Public Schools Inc achieve its full potential and better serve the students of North Forest.

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.
