Harmony Science Academy - Grand Prairie

Summary:

Harmony Science Academy - Grand Prairie is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Grand Prairie, Texas, with a diverse student population that has shifted in recent years. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools, facing significant challenges in student academic performance, particularly for its Hispanic, English Learner, and Special Education populations.

Harmony Science Academy - Grand Prairie consistently underperforms compared to the Uplift Education district and the state of Texas on STAAR standardized tests, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages in both reading and math. The school's performance varies greatly by student subgroup, with African American students performing relatively well but Hispanic, English Learner, and Special Education students all ranking in the bottom quarter of Texas schools. Despite these academic struggles, the school has maintained very low dropout rates, better than the state average.

The school's proximity to several other elementary schools in the Grand Prairie Independent School District that outperform it on state assessments suggests the school's challenges may be more related to factors within the school itself rather than the broader community. The school's enrollment has also declined slightly in recent years, which could be a sign of decreasing community confidence. Addressing these performance gaps should be a top priority for the school's leadership.

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.
