Summary

Education Center International Academy 2 is a small K-6 charter school in Rowlett, TX, serving just 90 students and operating under the Education Center International Academy district, which ranks in the bottom 11th percentile of Texas districts.

This school has experienced a significant and steady decline in academic performance over the past decade, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2015-2016 to a 1-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year. Its test scores are dramatically lower than those of nearby schools. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 20% of ECIA 2 students were proficient, compared to 80.43% at Keeley Elementary and 72.62% at Herfurth Elementary. A particularly alarming red flag is that the school has recorded 0% proficiency in 5th-grade science for three consecutive years. Even when compared to its closest neighbor, Nita Pearson Elementary—which serves a similar demographic—ECIA 2 underperforms in nearly every subject and grade level.

Despite a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which typically allows for more individualized attention, this advantage is not translating into academic success. The school’s performance for economically disadvantaged students is in the 0th percentile statewide, meaning it performs worse than nearly every other school in Texas for this group. While there is a small bright spot in 5th and 6th grade reading, where scores are near the state average, this success is not replicated in math or science, nor in the lower grades. This pattern suggests systemic challenges that have not been effectively addressed, making it a critical consideration for any parent evaluating this school.
