Ume Preparatory Academy - Duncanville has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top half of Texas elementary schools over the past 5 years. The school's reading proficiency on STAAR assessments is particularly strong, with 81.08% of 6th-grade students scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 54.45%. However, the school's mathematics performance has been more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. The school's White and male students have performed well, while its English Language Learner and Hispanic student populations have struggled.

Compared to the nearby Duncanville Independent School District (Isd) schools, Ume Preparatory Academy - Duncanville generally outperforms them on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its academic success. However, the school faces challenges in supporting its English Language Learner and Hispanic student populations, which is a common issue in many schools across Texas and the United States.

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.
