Idea Edgemere Academy

Q: Is Idea Edgemere Academy a good school?

Idea Edgemere Academy ranks 911 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Idea Edgemere Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 974 students in grades K-5 in El Paso, Texas, which is part of the Socorro Independent School District and the Clint Independent School District.

Idea Edgemere Academy consistently outperforms the Idea Public Schools district and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across grades 3-5 in reading, math, and science. The school ranks exceptionally well for its African American and Hispanic students, but its performance for White students is relatively lower. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's spending per student has decreased over the past few years, which may impact its ability to provide resources and support for its students.

Compared to nearby public schools, Idea Edgemere Academy generally outperforms schools in the Socorro and Clint districts, particularly in reading and math. For example, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 78.68%, compared to 53.47% at Lujan-Chavez Elementary, 42.4% at Paso Del Norte Fine Arts Academy, and 38.33% at Montana Vista Elementary. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in its student-teacher ratio, which may impact the quality of instruction and the ability of teachers to provide individualized attention to 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.
