Summary

Faith Family Master Academy is a public charter school in Waxahachie, TX, serving 366 students in grades PK-8, and it stands out for serving a highly disadvantaged population, with nearly all students (99.73%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This school is part of the Faith Family Academy district, which ranks in the bottom 3% of Texas districts, but the school itself consistently outperforms its district in nearly every subject—for example, 6th-grade reading proficiency is 50% at the school versus 17.81% district-wide. However, it still trails state averages, which is expected given its high-poverty context, and its overall performance places it at the 19th percentile (1-star rating) in the most recent data.

A key differentiator is the stark performance gap between genders: male students rank in the 54th percentile (3 stars), while female students rank in the 0th percentile (0 stars), a trend that has worsened over three years and suggests a critical need for targeted support for girls. Another bright spot is that low socioeconomic status students have improved significantly, rising from the 10th to the 34th percentile in recent years, indicating the school may be developing effective strategies for its core demographic. The school also has the highest student-teacher ratio (18.1) among nearby schools, which can be a challenge for a high-needs population, and its spending per student has been volatile, ranging from $2,334 to $12,950 in recent years.

Compared to its closest neighbor, Wilemon Steam Academy (1.4 miles away), which serves a largely middle-class population (22.2% free/reduced lunch) and ranks in the 78th percentile (4 stars), the performance gap is enormous—for instance, 3rd-grade math proficiency is 9.52% at Faith Family versus 56.7% at Wilemon. This contrast highlights the immense challenge Faith Family Master Academy faces due to systemic effects of poverty, and the fact that it achieves any level of proficiency while serving a 99.73% low-income population is a testament to the effort of its staff. Nearby schools like Clift Elementary (66.82% free/reduced lunch) and Marvin Biomedical Academy (68.04%) have more comparable poverty levels but still significantly lower than Faith Family's.
