Summary

Education Center International Academy 1 is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Sunnyvale, TX, with 175 students. The school is part of the Education Center International Academy district, which is ranked 775 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Education Center International Academy 1 has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its own district on STAAR assessments in reading, math, and science. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 35% compared to the state average of 52.02% and the district average of 38.71%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and low-socioeconomic status students performing relatively well, but Hispanic and White students performing poorly. Despite spending significantly more per student ($10,830 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, the school's academic outcomes have not improved.

Comparing Education Center International Academy 1 to nearby public schools, it is clear that the charter school is underperforming. For example, Sunnyvale Intermediate, which is 2.39 miles away, outperforms Education Center International Academy 1 across all grade levels and subject areas. While the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 75% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, its high per-student spending and ability to serve gifted students suggest that there may be opportunities to improve academic outcomes through more effective instructional practices and resource allocation.

Monday, May 29, 2017

This is the first year that my child has been at ECIA that the school feels so chaotic and unorganized. They have had a large teacher turn around and have filled these positions with employees that do not hold a certification or teaching experience. The campus principal is unwilling to handle large issues within the school that effect the learning environment of all students. I have addressed my concerns multuple times this year which have apparently fallen on dead ears. Close Quote
