University Of Texas University Charter School

The University Of Texas University Charter School district consists of 20 schools, including 1 elementary school, 5 middle schools, 11 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 917 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in the quality of education provided.

A few schools stand out in the district. Olympia Hills, a middle school, has consistently ranked among the top 100 middle schools in Texas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, with 88% of students proficient or better in both reading and math. Settlement Home, a high school, has the lowest student-teacher ratio (5.6) among the high schools in the district, which may contribute to its relatively higher performance. The Tnc Campus (Texas Neurorehabilitation Center), an alternative school, has the lowest student-teacher ratio (6.4) among all the schools in the district, which is likely beneficial for its specialized student population.

However, the district as a whole struggles with low performance, with most schools having less than 50% of students proficient or better in reading, math, science, and social studies on STAAR tests. Graduation rates vary widely, from 0% at some schools to 80% at Methodist Children's Home. Dropout rates also vary, with some schools having 0% dropout rates and others as high as 10.1%. The wide range in spending per student, from $10,955 to $31,392, suggests potential funding disparities that may be contributing to the performance gaps between schools.
