Summary

Tekoa Academy Of Accelerated Studies is a small public charter elementary school in Port Arthur, TX, serving 236 students in grades PK-5 and operating under the Tekoa Academy Of Accelerated Studies Stem School district, which ranks in the 89th percentile statewide—a stark contrast to the surrounding Port Arthur Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 11th percentile.

This school has achieved an extraordinary academic turnaround. After receiving a 0-star rating from 2021-2022 through 2024-2025, it surged to a 4-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year, jumping from the 5th to the 76th percentile statewide. This dramatic improvement is especially notable given that 94-96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school now ranks in the 92nd percentile for serving students from low-income backgrounds, proving that high poverty does not have to mean low performance. In 5th grade math, an impressive 81.25% of students are proficient—nearly double the state average and more than double the rate at nearby Lakeview Elementary (32.56%), which serves a similar demographic just 0.45 miles away. The school also outperforms Bob Hope School - Elementary Campus in 5th grade math (81.25% vs. 76%), despite serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

While Tekoa has made remarkable gains in reading and math, science remains a persistent challenge—only 9% of 5th graders were proficient in science in 2023-2024, well below the state average of 29.6%. The school also spends significantly more per student ($19,049) than local peers like Houston Elementary ($10,784), which likely supports its recent success. For parents seeking a school that is proving that dramatic improvement is possible, Tekoa Academy offers a compelling option in Port Arthur.
