Summary:
Compass Rose Public Schools is a Texas charter district of 9 schools serving grades PK-12, ranked in the 18th percentile statewide with a 1-star rating, indicating significant academic challenges across a diverse mix of elementary, high school, and alternative campuses.
The district's standout performer is Compass Rose Opportunity, an alternative school with only 95 students that achieved 100% proficiency in 8th Grade Reading and consistently exceeds state averages, benefiting from the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.7:1) and lowest economic disadvantage rate (45.26%). In contrast, Compass Rose Impact faces the most acute crisis with a catastrophic 35.2% dropout rate and proficiency rates below 10% in core subjects like English I and Biology. Compass Rose Dream is in a state of collapse with a 36.1:1 student-teacher ratio and near-zero test scores (0% in 5th Grade Science), while Compass Rose Destiny shows promise as a larger alternative school with a 0% dropout rate and improving reading scores.
Key metrics reveal a district struggling with high economic disadvantage (average 77.7% free/reduced lunch) and lagging state averages, such as 29.65% proficiency in 3rd Grade Reading versus the state's 51.08%. The two dedicated high schools, Compass Rose Legacy and Impact, are the weakest performers, with Algebra I proficiency below 18%. However, the success of Opportunity suggests that smaller class sizes and targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could be a blueprint for improvement. The district's overall 6% dropout rate is heavily skewed by Impact, as other schools average just 1.75%, highlighting the need for intensive intervention at that campus.
