Summary

Texans Can Academy - Dallas North is a small public charter high school in Dallas, TX, serving 217 students in grades 9-12, and is part of the Texans Can Academies district. The school serves a high-needs population, with about 77-83% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, but its academic outcomes are significantly below state averages and nearly all nearby schools.

The most striking difference between this school and its neighbors is its extremely low graduation and high dropout rates. For the class of 2024, the 4-year graduation rate was just 18.0%, while the dropout rate was 30.8%. This means more students left school than graduated, a stark contrast to nearby N Garland High School (94% graduation rate, 1.0% dropout) and Lake Highlands High School (86% graduation rate). Test scores are also very low—for example, only 7.4% of students were proficient in English I, compared to 63.3% at N Garland High School. The student-teacher ratio of 43.8:1 is more than double that of any other nearby school, suggesting a severe lack of instructional staff.

Despite these challenges, there are a few positive signs. The school shows a relative strength in U.S. History, with 41.4% of students proficient, which is higher than the district average. Additionally, the English Language Learner subgroup improved significantly, jumping from the 4th percentile to the 29th percentile in recent rankings. However, the school spends $14,543 per student—more than nearby high-performing schools like N Garland High School ($9,472)—yet achieves the lowest outcomes, raising questions about how resources are used. For parents considering this school, it's important to weigh these factors carefully, especially given the availability of higher-performing options in the same area, such as Richland Collegiate H S Of Math Science Engineerin (100% graduation rate).
