Mickey Leland College Prep Academy For Young Men

Summary:

Mickey Leland College Prep Academy For Young Men is a public magnet high school in Houston, Texas that serves grades 6-12 and has a student population of 311, with a racial makeup that is predominantly African American (54%) and Hispanic (41.8%).

This school has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.3% to 97.8% over the past five years, which is significantly higher than the Houston Independent School District and state averages. The school also performs well on STAAR tests, particularly in Algebra I, Biology, and English II Reading, where the percentage of students scoring proficient or better exceeds the district and state averages. While the school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated, it has consistently received a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the top-performing schools in Texas. The school's performance is particularly strong for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top half of Texas high schools for these groups in recent years.

However, the school's performance has declined somewhat in recent years, as evidenced by its drop in statewide ranking from the top 10% of Texas high schools to the middle 50%. This is reflected in lower test scores, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates have fallen below the district and state averages. The school also faces challenges related to its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to other nearby high schools, such as H.S. for Law and Justice, Middle College H.S. at HCC Fraga, and East Early College High School, Mickey Leland College Prep Academy maintains a slight edge in many areas, but the school's performance for English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students lags behind other subgroups.

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.
