Summary

George I Sanchez Charter is an alternative public charter school in Houston, Texas that serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 670 students. The school faces significant challenges in serving its high-need student population, as evidenced by its lower-than-average graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and significantly lower test scores compared to the state.

Despite a steady increase in its 4-year graduation rate, from 83.6% in 2020-2021 to 89.1% in 2022-2023, George I Sanchez Charter still falls below the state average of around 90%. The school's dropout rate has fluctuated between 1.2% and 2.3% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average of around 1%. Additionally, the school's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 9.09% of 3rd graders projected to be proficient in reading in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 52.02%.

Interestingly, Harmony Virtual Academy and Houston Gateway Academy - Coral Campus, two other alternative schools in the area, have higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and significantly better test scores than George I Sanchez Charter. This suggests a need for more effective academic interventions and support at George I Sanchez Charter, particularly given its extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.08% to 99.17% over the past few years.
