Idea Eastside College Preparatory

Summary:

Idea Eastside College Preparatory is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in San Antonio, Texas, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged.

While Idea Eastside College Preparatory is part of the Idea Public Schools district, which is ranked 455 out of 968 districts in the state, the school itself has struggled, ranking between 1202-1407 out of 1961-1987 Texas high schools in the past few years and receiving a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. This places it in the bottom half of high schools in the state. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male and African American students performing better than the overall school, while female and Hispanic students perform worse. Idea Eastside College Preparatory has also seen a steady increase in its dropout rates, rising from 0% in 2017-2018 to 3.5% in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby schools, Idea Eastside College Preparatory performs significantly worse than the higher-performing Idea Carver College Preparatory, which is also part of the Idea Public Schools district and consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas high schools. The school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds likely contributes to its lower academic performance, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students.

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.
