College Career Technology Academy (Ccta)

Summary:

College Career Technology Academy (CCTA) is a small public high school in El Paso, Texas, serving grades 9-12 and part of the El Paso Independent School District. With a student population of just 137, CCTA has struggled academically, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

CCTA's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course exams ranging from 0% to 30%. The school also has alarmingly low graduation rates, at just 39% in 2022-2023, compared to 84.4% at Chapin High School and 87.5% at El Paso High School. Correspondingly, CCTA has high dropout rates, ranging from 22.8% to 33% over the past several years.

Despite its proximity to several higher-performing schools in the district, CCTA's challenges appear to go beyond just its geographic location. The school serves a high-need population, with 91.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While CCTA's funding has increased significantly in recent years, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the school may be facing deeper systemic issues. However, CCTA's small size and specialized focus on career and technical education could potentially be leveraged to provide more personalized and engaging learning experiences for its 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.
