Summary

Founders Classical Academy Corinth - Upper School is a public charter school in Corinth, TX, serving 509 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Texas College Preparatory Academies district. The school has a strong academic reputation, currently ranked in the 72nd percentile statewide, and offers a smaller, more intimate learning environment with a 14.6:1 student-teacher ratio.

This school presents a fascinating academic split. It excels in humanities, with 85.71% of students proficient in English II, far surpassing nearby schools like Guyer High School (69.36%) and Marcus High School (77.21%). However, it struggles significantly with advanced math; only 27.72% of students are proficient in Algebra I, which is dramatically lower than the state average (54.03%) and its closest neighbor, Lake Dallas High School (52.74%). This 58-percentage-point gap between English and math proficiency is extreme and suggests the school's classical, discussion-based curriculum is a double-edged sword—excellent for reading and history, but challenging for advanced math instruction.

Despite lower per-student spending ($9,236) than many traditional public schools, Founders achieves higher overall rankings and a near-perfect graduation rate of 98.0% with a dropout rate of just 0.5%. This operational efficiency is a clear strength, though the Algebra I scores indicate it may come at a cost in certain areas. The school has shown a strong upward trend over the last three years, climbing from the 57th to the 72nd percentile, contrasting with nearby Lewisville High School, which has been declining. For parents, this school offers a top-tier humanities education and a supportive community, but requires careful attention to math support for students.
