Blended Academy

Summary:

Blended Academy is a public high school located in Del Rio, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 103 students. The school is part of the San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 631 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blended Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (96.12%) compared to nearby Del Rio High School (93.52%) and Del Rio Early College High School (95.05%). Additionally, Blended Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 1927 out of 1987 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's four-year graduation rate has improved from 27.9% in 2019-2020 to 83.1% in 2022-2023, but this rate is still lower than the 89.7% rate at Del Rio High School. Blended Academy also has a relatively high dropout rate, ranging from 10.2% to 14.6% over the past several years, compared to the 2.4% rate at Del Rio High School.

Blended Academy's academic performance is also a concern, as the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR/EOC assessments across all subject areas, with proficiency rates often less than half of the district and state levels. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 92%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the 64.66% rate at Del Rio High School. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $11,393 to $13,341 over the past three years, the academic outcomes suggest that there may be opportunities to improve the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement.

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.
