Ector College Prep Success Academy

Summary:

Ector College Prep Success Academy is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Odessa, Texas, with a student population of 1,384 and a predominantly Hispanic student body. However, the school has struggled academically, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools and receiving low SchoolDigger ratings of 1-2 stars out of 5.

Ector College Prep Success Academy stands out for several key metrics. It has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (over 90%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse racial compositions. Academically, the school consistently underperforms the Ector County Independent School District and the state of Texas in STAAR test proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 8th grade reading proficiency rate was 51.86% compared to the district's 40.07% and the state's 54.09%. Additionally, Ector College Prep Success Academy has higher dropout rates than nearby schools, ranging from 0.8% to 2.3% in recent years, and a very high percentage of students (over 70%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Ector College Prep Success Academy faces significant academic and demographic challenges, the nearby schools in the Ector County Independent School District also perform below the state average, suggesting broader systemic challenges in the district. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as well as its lower spending per student (between $8,789 and $9,683), may be contributing factors to its academic struggles. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to improve educational outcomes for the school's students.

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.
