Idea Tres Lagos College Preparatory

Summary:

Idea Tres Lagos College Preparatory is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in McAllen, Texas, with a student population of 538. 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 Tres Lagos College Preparatory has shown strong academic performance in reading and science, outperforming the Idea Public Schools district and the state of Texas in the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR/Reading for grades 6-8 and STAAR EOC/Biology. However, the school's performance in mathematics and social studies lags behind the district and state averages. The school has maintained low dropout rates, but its statewide ranking has declined from 1116 out of 1987 Texas high schools in 2023-2024 to a 2-star rating, indicating room for improvement in overall academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Idea Tres Lagos College Preparatory performs well, outperforming Robert R. Vela High School and Edinburg North High School in several subject areas. However, the school falls short of the high-performing South Texas Independent School District (ISD) World Scholars, a magnet school that consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state. The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at Idea Tres Lagos College Preparatory suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which can present unique challenges in terms of academic support and resources.

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.
