Life School Carrollton

Public, Charter Grades K-6

Summary

Life School Carrollton is a public charter elementary school serving 241 students in grades K-6 in Carrollton, Texas. The school is part of the Life School district, which is ranked 723 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Life School Carrollton consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests generally below the state and district averages in reading, math, and science. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female students, English language learners, and students with special needs. Compared to the nearby Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District schools, Life School Carrollton lags behind in academic achievement, with lower proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

Factors that may contribute to Life School Carrollton's weaker performance include lower per-student spending, higher student-teacher ratios, and a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to the nearby district schools. Another nearby charter school, Bridgeway Preparatory Academy, also performs significantly worse than the traditional public schools in the area, suggesting the charter school model may not be providing the same level of academic support and resources as the district schools.

What people are saying

Friday, October 14, 2022

Please be aware - do NOT send your child to this school. My grandson attended the school for two years and lost two years of education. The administration/teaching staff was severely lacking. When we moved our grandson to another school, we learned just how inferior Life School had been. When the new school ordered paperwork/documentation from Life School, it was found that the testing and other procedures were done incorrectly and had to be redone. Life School overall was the most inept educational institution that I have ever observed (I am an educator myself). Close Quote
