Summary

Uplift North Hills Prep High School in Irving, TX, is a high-performing charter school serving 522 students in grades 9-12, and it stands out as an academic powerhouse in the area. Part of the Uplift Education district, this school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for nine consecutive years and ranks in the top 2-3% of all Texas high schools, currently placing 35th out of 2,009 schools statewide. With a perfect 100% graduation rate for the last five years and a near-zero dropout rate, it offers a highly effective environment for student success.

What truly sets Uplift North Hills Prep apart from nearby schools is its exceptional test score proficiency. For the 2025-2026 school year, STAAR End-of-Course exam scores are dramatically higher than state averages: 95.6% proficient in Biology (vs. 70.51% statewide), 91.93% in English I Reading (vs. 55.43%), and 95.8% in U.S. History (vs. 70.17%). These scores far surpass those of neighboring schools like MacArthur High School (54.7% in Biology) and Turner High School (56.21% in Biology). The only comparable high-performer in the area is North Lake Early College High School, ranked 33rd, but it achieves this through a magnet early college model with a much higher economically disadvantaged population (87.63% vs. Uplift's 20.11%).

Uplift North Hills Prep excels across all student subgroups, ranking in the 97th percentile or higher for African American, Hispanic, White, Special Education, Low Socio-Economic Status, and English Language Learner students. This demonstrates an exceptional ability to provide high-quality education equitably. One interesting finding is the "Algebra I anomaly": while other subjects consistently score above 90% proficiency, Algebra I was at 55.56% in 2025-2026, suggesting a relative challenge in mathematics. Overall, Uplift's consistent excellence over nearly a decade, combined with its perfect graduation rates, indicates a deeply embedded culture of high expectations and effective support systems that make it a standout choice for families in the Irving area.
