Mineral Wells Academy

Summary:

Mineral Wells Academy is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Mineral Wells, Texas, with a total enrollment of just 19 students. The school is part of the Mineral Wells Independent School District, which is ranked 785 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Mineral Wells Academy stands out in several ways. The student population is more racially diverse compared to nearby schools like Mineral Wells High School, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and multi-racial students. The school has also maintained strong graduation rates, ranging from 87.5% to 100% over the past 5 years, which are generally higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Mineral Wells Academy has had very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 3.6% during the same period, outperforming the district and state. However, the school's test scores on the STAAR EOC exams are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas.

Mineral Wells Academy serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 73.68% to 94.74% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may require additional resources and support to address their unique needs. While the school's small size and personalized attention may contribute to its strong graduation and low dropout rates, the academic underperformance suggests that Mineral Wells Academy faces significant challenges in improving student achievement and preparing them for success.

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.
