Summary:
The Southwest Preparatory School district in Texas operates two elementary schools: Southwest Prep Northwest Elementary and Northeast Elementary Campus. Both schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and are located in the same geographic area.
Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on STAAR reading, math, and science tests compared to the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, the 5th grade reading proficiency rate at Southwest Prep Northwest Elementary was 76.92%, while the state average was 57.83%. Similarly, the 5th grade math proficiency rate at Northeast Elementary Campus was only 11.11%, compared to the state average of 46.24%. These consistently low test scores across multiple grade levels and subject areas suggest systemic challenges within the district that need to be addressed.
Additionally, both schools serve predominantly low-income communities, with over 85% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level may contribute to the schools' academic challenges and the need for additional resources and support. The funding disparity between the two schools, with Southwest Prep Northwest Elementary spending $25,371 per student and Northeast Elementary Campus spending $14,827 per student, also suggests potential inequities in resource allocation within the district. The small school sizes, with Southwest Prep Northwest Elementary at 85 students and Northeast Elementary Campus at 53 students, may also be a factor impacting academic performance and resource allocation.
