Idea South Flores College Preparatory

Summary:

Idea South Flores College Preparatory is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in San Antonio, Texas, with a predominantly Hispanic student population. This school stands out for its consistent academic excellence, outperforming both the Idea Public Schools district and the state of Texas on STAAR reading and math assessments across grade levels.

Idea South Flores maintains a high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 93% to 96.2% in recent years, and has very low dropout rates, typically below 1%, significantly better than the state average. The school's performance is particularly strong for traditionally underserved student populations, such as English Language Learners and low-income students, ranking among the top 5% of Texas high schools for ELL student performance. However, the relatively low performance of White students compared to other subgroups suggests the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

Idea South Flores' academic advantages are highlighted when compared to nearby high schools, including those within the Harlandale Independent School District and the San Antonio Independent School District. Given the school's strong performance, there may be opportunities for Idea South Flores to collaborate with these nearby district-run high schools to share best practices and strategies for supporting student success, benefiting the broader educational community in the San Antonio area.

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.
