Idea College Preparatory San Juan

Summary:

Idea College Preparatory San Juan is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in San Juan, Texas, with a student population of 726. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body, with 98.21% of students identifying as Hispanic.

One of the school's key strengths is its high graduation rates, ranging from 94.9% to 100% over the past five years, as well as very low dropout rates, from 0% to 0.9%. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to the Idea Public Schools district and the state of Texas. While the school excels in some subject areas, such as 8th grade reading and U.S. History, it lags behind in others, like Algebra I and 6th-7th grade math. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners performing well but Special Education students struggling.

When compared to nearby schools in the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District, Idea College Preparatory San Juan generally performs better on standardized tests, particularly in subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History. However, the school lags behind the top-performing nearby school, Psja Collegiate School Of Health Professions, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state. The school's challenges may be partly attributed to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students it serves, with 89.39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
