Newman International Academy Watauga

Q: Is Newman International Academy Watauga a good school?

Newman International Academy Watauga ranks 2408 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Newman International Academy Watauga is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Watauga, Texas, with a relatively small student population of 82 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a diverse student body, with a majority of African American (37.8%) and Hispanic (34.15%) students.

While Newman International Academy Watauga has shown relatively strong academic performance in reading, with over 50% of students scoring proficient or better on the STAAR Reading assessment, the school's performance in mathematics is weaker, with only 18-50% of students scoring proficient or better on the STAAR Mathematics assessment. Compared to the Newman International Academy of Arlington district and the state, the school generally outperforms the district in reading but underperforms in mathematics. The school has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate, which is significantly lower than the state average, and has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Interestingly, Newman International Academy Watauga has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby public schools in the Arlington Independent School District, which tend to have a higher percentage of White and Hispanic students. The school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio may contribute to its relatively strong performance in reading, but the mathematics scores suggest that these resources are not being effectively utilized to improve math outcomes. Nearby Arlington Classics Academy, a public charter school, consistently outperforms Newman International Academy Watauga and the Arlington Independent School District in both reading and mathematics assessments, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in this area.

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.
