Summary:
La Academia De Estrellas is a public charter school district in Dallas, Texas that serves middle school students in grades 6-8. The district has only one middle school, La Academia De Estrellas Middle School, which has a total enrollment of 296 students, the majority of whom (98.65%) are Hispanic.
La Academia De Estrellas Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a performance rating of 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are significantly lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, where the 6th grade proficiency rate is just 19.61% compared to the state average of 37.1%. However, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 and a 0.0% dropout rate, which are positive indicators. The school also serves a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 86.82% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique challenges these students may face.
Overall, La Academia De Estrellas middle school is underperforming compared to state averages, with significant gaps in academic proficiency. While the school has some potential strengths, such as its low student-teacher ratio and low dropout rate, these factors alone do not appear to be sufficient to overcome the academic performance issues. Targeted interventions and a focus on improving instructional practices and curriculum may be necessary to help the school better serve its predominantly low-income student population and improve its overall performance.
