Summary

Priority Charter Schools Temple is a small, alternative public charter school in Temple, TX, serving 218 students in grades PK through 12 within the Priority Charter Schools district.

This school stands out for its remarkable success in getting students to graduation. It achieved a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, a significant turnaround from the previous year. This is especially impressive for an alternative school setting. In high school, students perform well on state End-of-Course exams, with 80% passing Biology and 70% passing Algebra I. The school also builds strong reading skills in middle school, with proficiency rates in 5th, 6th, and 7th grade that consistently exceed the state average. A key factor is its very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.9:1, allowing for more individualized attention.

Compared to its nearby peer, Wheatley Alternative Education Center in Temple ISD, Priority Charter is performing at a fundamentally different level. While Wheatley spends over $39,000 per student, Priority Charter achieves far better academic outcomes with a much lower per-student spending of about $9,200. For example, Priority Charter’s Algebra I pass rate is 70%, compared to 0% at Wheatley. The school’s main challenge is a persistent weakness in mathematics across most elementary and middle school grades, which is an area to watch. However, for parents seeking an alternative school with a proven track record of graduating students and strong middle school literacy, Priority Charter Schools Temple is a standout option.
