Aquilla School

Summary:

Aquilla School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Aquilla Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with a student population of 321 that is predominantly White (86.29%).

Aquilla School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, maintaining a 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for the past five years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's STAAR test scores are also generally higher than the state and district averages, particularly in reading and mathematics, with projected proficiency rates of 94.12% in 6th grade reading, 76.47% in 5th grade mathematics, and 70% in Biology EOC. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.3 to 11.7 over the past three years, which may contribute to its academic success. While Aquilla School's student population is predominantly White, the school has seen a slight increase in the percentage of Hispanic students over the past three years, from 10.9% in 2022-2023 to 12.28% in 2021-2022. However, the school has a significant percentage of students (50.78% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need among the student population.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as Penelope School, Bynum School, and Gholson ISD, Aquilla School generally outperforms them in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores, particularly in reading and mathematics. However, the nearby schools have a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of Hispanic and African American students. While Aquilla School's academic performance is strong, there may be opportunities to further improve in areas such as science and social studies, where the school's proficiency rates are lower compared to reading and mathematics.

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.
