Draw Academy

Summary:

Draw Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Houston, TX, with a student population of 678. The school is located in the Services-Ninos Charter School district, which is ranked 879 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Draw Academy faces significant challenges, with an overwhelmingly Hispanic student population (98.67%) and an extremely high percentage (100%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low-income student body. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, performing well below state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. In comparison, the nearby schools, such as Services-Ninos Charter Elementary, Pilgrim Academy, and Piney Point Elementary, generally perform better academically, though they still struggle compared to state averages. The KIPP charter schools in the area, such as KIPP Connect Houston Pri and KIPP Sharp Prep, significantly outperform Draw Academy and the other nearby schools on academic measures.

Despite the challenges, Draw Academy and the nearby schools all have very low dropout rates, indicating that students are generally staying enrolled through the elementary and middle school years. Addressing the unique needs of Draw Academy's student population, which is overwhelmingly Hispanic and low-income, will be crucial for improving the school's performance and ensuring that students receive the support they need to succeed.

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.
