Delta Academy

Summary:

Delta Academy is a public high school in El Paso, Texas, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of just 57 students. As part of the El Paso Independent School District, which is ranked 515 out of 968 districts in Texas, Delta Academy stands out for its significantly lower academic performance and higher dropout rates compared to nearby schools.

Delta Academy has a student population that is 92.98% Hispanic, which is higher than the surrounding schools that range from 88.82% to 98.83% Hispanic students. Academically, Delta Academy lags far behind, with 0% proficiency in 8th grade Reading, Science, and Social Studies, compared to the district's 52%, 41%, and 23% proficiency, respectively. The school has also had a 0% four-year graduation rate for the past two years, much lower than the 72.1% to 100% graduation rates of nearby schools like Bowie High School, Jefferson High School, and Burges High School.

Despite Delta Academy's high per-student spending, ranging from $27,796 to $46,546 over the past three years, and its very low student-teacher ratio of 2 to 2.8 students per teacher, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. These findings suggest that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school culture, may be contributing to the persistent academic challenges at Delta Academy.

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.
