Evolution Academy Beaumont

Summary:

Evolution Academy Beaumont is a public charter high school serving around 200 students in grades 9-12 in Beaumont, Texas, a predominantly African American (69%) and Hispanic (25.5%) community. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Texas, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating very poor performance.

The data reveals several key challenges facing Evolution Academy Beaumont. The school has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 52.2% to 74.0% over the past 5 years, significantly lower than the state average and nearby schools like Vidor High School (88.8%) and Nederland High School (92.9%). Additionally, the school has had high dropout rates, ranging from 5.8% to 17.0%, much higher than the state average and nearby schools. Academically, Evolution Academy Beaumont students perform poorly on state standardized tests, with only 10.71% proficient in Algebra I, compared to 44.73% statewide and 48.71% at Vidor High School.

The school's struggles extend to serving its disadvantaged student population effectively. In 2022-2023, Evolution Academy Beaumont ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. This is concerning, as the school's predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student body requires targeted support and resources. The lower per-student spending at Evolution Academy Beaumont compared to nearby Beaumont Independent School District (Isd) schools may be a contributing factor to the school's poor performance, as adequate funding and resources are crucial for student success.

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.
