Summary

Uplift Heights Preparatory High School is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Dallas, Texas, with 495 students. The school is part of the Uplift Education district, which is ranked 697 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Uplift Heights Preparatory has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1314 and 1651 out of around 1900-2000 high schools.

The school faces significant challenges in academic performance, serving diverse student needs, and keeping students engaged and on track to graduation. Uplift Heights Preparatory consistently underperforms the state and its own district averages on STAAR end-of-course exams, with only 13.64% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 35.01% for the Uplift Education district and 47.01% for the state. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.9-1.6% in recent years.
