Summary

Uplift Grand Prep Ps is a public charter elementary school in Grand Prairie, TX, serving 727 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Uplift Education district, where about 87% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school stands out for its efficient use of resources, operating with a higher student-to-teacher ratio (18.2:1) and lower per-student spending ($9,506) compared to nearby Grand Prairie Independent School District (Isd) elementary schools, which average a 14.6:1 ratio and $10,316 per student. Despite these constraints, Uplift Grand Prep has shown recent improvement, climbing from the 17th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 35th percentile in 2025-2026, with 3rd and 4th graders now meeting or exceeding district averages in Reading and Math. However, the school faces a severe crisis in 5th grade Science, where only 1.83% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—far below the state average of 29.57% and even lower than nearby schools like Stephen F Austin Environmental Science Academy (42.05%) and David Daniels Elementary Academy Of Science & Math (25%).

A notable strength is the school's exceptional performance with African American students, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide, which is a dramatic outlier compared to its overall rank. Conversely, the school critically underperforms with Special Education students, ranking in the 7th percentile—a consistent and severe weakness. This polarized performance suggests that while Uplift Grand Prep has effective strategies for some groups, it urgently needs to address gaps in Science instruction and support for its most vulnerable learners to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
