Summary:
Ambassadors Preparatory Academy is the sole elementary school located in the Ambassadors Preparatory Academy district, serving grades PK-8 in Galveston, Texas. With a total enrollment of 162 students, the school's academic performance varies significantly across grade levels and subjects, with some areas exceeding the state average and others falling well below.
While the school boasts a 0% dropout rate, its STAAR proficiency rates paint a mixed picture. In 3rd grade reading, the school's proficiency rate of 28.57% lags behind the state average of 52.02%, but its 5th grade reading proficiency of 75% outperforms the state's 57.83%. Similarly, the school's 8th grade math proficiency of 75% surpasses the state's 44.81%, but its 3rd grade math proficiency of 35.71% falls short of the 44.88% state average. The school's science and social studies performance also varies, with 5th grade science proficiency at a low 5% compared to the state's 29.57%, but 8th grade social studies proficiency at a strong 66.67% against the state's 29.64%.
Ambassadors Preparatory Academy serves a high-needs population, with 87.65% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a student-teacher ratio of 9.1, lower than the state average. The school's per-student spending of $14,059 for the 2020-2021 school year is higher than the state average, but this investment has not yet translated into consistently strong academic outcomes across all grade levels and subjects. The school's leadership may need to evaluate its resource allocation and instructional practices to address the areas of underperformance and ensure all students are meeting proficiency standards.
