Idea Southeast College Preparatory ranks 1708 th of 2361 Texas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Idea Southeast College Preparatory is a public charter middle school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 243. While the school is part of the Idea Public Schools district, which is ranked 455 out of 968 districts in Texas, Idea Southeast College Preparatory's academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages.

Idea Southeast College Preparatory's student proficiency rates on STAAR tests are significantly below the Idea Public Schools district and the Texas state average in core subjects like Reading, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Algebra I. However, the school performs better in certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and African American and Hispanic students, compared to the overall school performance. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 23.9, and a very high percentage of students (96.3%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Idea Southeast College Preparatory's performance is generally lower than the higher-performing Idea Edgecliff College Preparatory, but better than some Fort Worth ISD schools, such as Daggett Middle and Rosemont Middle, in certain subject areas. The school's strengths in supporting certain student subgroups suggest opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and the sharing of best practices.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
