Summary

Uplift Luna Prep High School in Dallas, TX, is a public charter school serving 472 students in grades 9-12 within the Uplift Education district, where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable progress and its exceptional support for students who need it most. After a low point in 2021, Uplift Luna Prep has climbed steadily to its highest ranking ever in the 2025-2026 school year, reaching the 55th percentile with a 3-star rating. What truly sets it apart from nearby schools like West Mesquite High School and Bryan Adams H S Leadership Academy is its strong performance with special education and at-risk students, ranking in the 67th and 68th percentiles respectively. The school also excels in U.S. History and Biology, with 74.56% of students proficient in U.S. History—well above the state average. However, Algebra I remains a persistent challenge, with only 21.95% of students proficient, a common struggle for many area high schools.

With a smaller enrollment than massive nearby schools like Skyline High School (3,837 students), Uplift Luna Prep offers a more focused learning environment with a 14:1 student-teacher ratio. While its graduation rate is strong at 92%, the dropout rate has risen to 2.3%, which is higher than the district average. Compared to the high-performing Pioneer Technology (Ptaa) Mesquite, Uplift Luna Prep serves a much higher percentage of low-income students, making its strong subgroup performance particularly noteworthy. This school is a compelling choice for parents seeking a school that is making meaningful strides in supporting all students, especially those who face the greatest challenges.
