Summary:
The International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas) school district operates 7 public charter high schools serving grades 9-12 across various cities in Texas, including Katy, Keller, Arlington, Grand Prairie, Houston, Garland, College Station, and Desoto. While the schools share a common district, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among them.
Two schools stand out as top performers: Iltexas Aggieland High School in College Station and Iltexas Katy Westpark High School in Katy. These schools consistently demonstrate high proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams, with Iltexas Aggieland High School ranking 322 out of 1,974 Texas high schools and Iltexas Katy Westpark High School ranking 317. In contrast, Iltexas Lancaster Desoto High School and Iltexas Arlington-Grand Prairie High School generally have the lowest proficiency rates across the district.
Despite the disparities in academic performance, all the Iltexas high schools maintain very high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 98.9% to 98.9%, and very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.1% to 0.1%. However, the schools vary significantly in their per-student spending, from $13,438 at Iltexas Aggieland High School to $7,963 at Iltexas Katy Westpark High School, suggesting that funding alone does not directly correlate with academic achievement. The data highlights opportunities for the Iltexas district to identify and replicate the best practices of its top-performing schools while addressing the needs of its lower-performing schools to ensure more equitable educational outcomes across the district.
