Idea Edgemere College Preparatory

Summary:

Idea Edgemere College Preparatory is a public charter secondary school in El Paso, Texas, serving grades 6-11 with a total enrollment of 538 students. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the Idea Public Schools district and the state of Texas in academic achievement, with strong proficiency rates on STAAR tests and end-of-course exams.

Idea Edgemere's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White and African American students compared to the nearby Idea Rio Vista College Preparatory, contributes to its success.

Idea Edgemere's academic excellence is evident in its ability to outperform the El Paso Independent School District and the state of Texas in various subjects and grade levels. However, the school could potentially improve in areas such as STAAR Mathematics proficiency and Algebra I end-of-course exams, where its results lag behind its strong reading and English language arts performance. Overall, Idea Edgemere College Preparatory stands out as a high-performing charter school in the El Paso area, offering a quality education and college preparation for its diverse student population.

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.
