Public, Charter Grades

Summary

Texas Preparatory School is a public charter elementary school located in San Marcos, Texas, serving 31 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school has a unique profile, with a very low student-teacher ratio, high per-student spending, and a diverse student population.

One of the standout features of Texas Preparatory School is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7:1 to 9.6:1 in recent years, significantly lower than the nearby Kyle Elementary and other public schools in the Hays Consolidated Independent School District and San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District. However, despite this advantage and higher per-student spending, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the nearby public schools and the state average.

The school's performance has also been highly variable over time, with its School Digger ranking ranging from a high of 5 stars to a low of 0 stars in recent years. Additionally, there are significant differences in outcomes for different student subgroups, with the school's 3rd grade STAAR Reading proficiency rate being 50% for female students but only 0% for Hispanic students. These findings suggest that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's academic outcomes, and parents should carefully consider the school's performance and compare it to nearby public school options.
