Aim College & Career Prep has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a statewide ranking between 735 and 1293 over the past few years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science.

The school's four-year graduation rate has improved, increasing from 55.6% in 2018-2019 to 83.3% in 2022-2023, and its dropout rate has decreased from 7.4% in 2017-2018 to 0.8% in 2021-2022.

Compared to the nearby schools, such as La Marque High School and Texas City High School, Aim College & Career Prep generally underperforms on standardized tests, with lower proficiency rates in core subject areas. However, the school's graduation rate is higher than some of the nearby schools. Aim College & Career Prep serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students than the nearby schools, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. The school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student achievement, particularly in mathematics and science.

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.
