Summary:
The Evolution Academy Charter School district in Texas operates three high schools—Evolution Academy Charter School (Richardson), Evolution Academy Beaumont, and Evolution Academy Houston—serving grades 9-12 across diverse Texas communities, with the district ranking in the bottom 3% of the state overall.
Among the three schools, Evolution Academy Houston stands out as the strongest academic performer, achieving the highest graduation rate (79.1%) and the only school to nearly match the state average in Biology (61.11% vs. 62.04%). In contrast, Evolution Academy Charter School in Richardson shows a troubling inconsistency: while it posts the network's best scores in Algebra I (37.5%) and U.S. History (58.82%), it also has the lowest graduation rate (42.2%) and highest dropout rate (10.9%). Evolution Academy Beaumont excels at student retention, with the lowest dropout rate (5.1%) and a solid 77.6% graduation rate, despite serving the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (87.13%) and spending the least per student ($8,284).
Key takeaways for parents: Biology is a network-wide strength, but English I and II Reading proficiency rates are alarmingly low across all schools, often below 20%. Spending per student does not predict success—Evolution Academy Houston spends the most ($8,862) and performs best, while Evolution Academy Beaumont spends the least but retains students best. The district's low overall ranking masks significant variation: Houston offers the most stable academic environment, Beaumont prioritizes keeping students enrolled, and Richardson presents a high-risk, high-variability option where academic potential does not translate to graduation.
