Summary:

Idea Edinburg Academy is a public charter elementary school in Edinburg, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, which has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Idea Edinburg Academy's performance on state assessments has been mixed compared to the district and state averages.

The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from a 5-star rating in 2014-2015 to a 2-star rating in the last two school years, indicating below-average performance compared to other Texas elementary schools. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners generally performing better than the overall school.

Schools like Jefferson Elementary, Austin Elementary, and Dr. Kay Teer Crawford Elementary have significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings compared to Idea Edinburg Academy. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a more socioeconomically diverse student population, and higher per-student spending, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance.

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.
