Idea Yukon Academy

Q: Is Idea Yukon Academy a good school?

Idea Yukon Academy ranks 2980 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Idea Yukon Academy is a public charter elementary school in Odessa, Texas, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Ector County Independent School District (Isd). The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (69.05%) compared to nearby schools, but its reading and math proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages.

While Idea Yukon Academy has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (57.05%) than the surrounding schools, its test scores are lower than even some of the public schools in the same district, such as El Magnet At Reagan Elementary, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in reading, math, and science. Additionally, Idea Yukon Academy has a higher student-teacher ratio of 22.5, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 13.9 to 21 students per teacher.

Overall, Idea Yukon Academy faces some challenges in terms of student performance and demographics compared to the surrounding schools. The school's lower test scores, particularly in math and science, suggest that there may be opportunities to strengthen the academic program and support for students. The higher student-teacher ratio could also be a factor in the school's performance and may warrant further investigation. However, the data provides valuable insights that could inform efforts to improve the school's educational outcomes and support for its student population.

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.
