Summary:
Ambassadors Preparatory Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in Galveston, Texas. As the only school in the data set, it stands out as a unique educational institution in the area, offering an expansive grade span and a relatively small student population of 162 students.
The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 1653 out of 4651 Texas elementary schools in 2024-2025 and 2429 out of 4675 in 2023-2024. Similarly, its SchoolDigger rating has ranged from 2 to 3 out of 5 stars. While the school maintains a 0.0% dropout rate, its STAAR test proficiency rates vary, with some areas exceeding the state average and others falling below. Notably, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with 87.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the challenges of serving a predominantly low-income student population, Ambassadors Preparatory Academy appears to be allocating resources efficiently, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1 and a per-student spending of $14,059. These factors suggest the school is making efforts to support student learning, though further investigation may be needed to understand the factors contributing to its fluctuating performance and identify areas for improvement.
