Idea Toros College Preparatory

Summary:

Idea Toros College Preparatory is a public charter high school in Edinburg, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 243 students. The school is part of the Idea Public Schools district, which is ranked 455 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Idea Toros College Preparatory has a significantly higher Hispanic student population, ranging from 95-98% over the past three school years, compared to the nearby schools which have a more diverse racial makeup. The school has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, ranking as high as 102 out of 1,857 Texas high schools in 2018-2019 with a 5-star rating, but has since dropped to a 2-star rating in recent years, ranking between 709 and 1,275 out of around 2,000 Texas high schools. However, the school has shown strong performance among specific student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners, often ranking in the top 50% or higher among Texas high schools for these groups.

Idea Toros College Preparatory generally performs better than the lower-ranked nearby schools, such as Lone Star H S South and Juvenile Detention Center, but lags behind the higher-performing schools like South Texas Independent School District (Isd) World Scholars. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 85-93% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges observed.

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.
