Summary

Winfree Academy Charter School (Irving) is a small alternative high school in Irving, TX, serving 173 students in grades 9-12, and operates under the Winfree Academy Charter Schools district.

This school faces significant challenges that set it apart from nearby schools. Academic performance is critically low, with only 10% of students proficient in English I Reading, compared to over 91% at North Lake Early College High School and Uplift North Hills Prep High School. The graduation rate is alarmingly low at 50.5%, while nearby schools like Manara Leadership Academy and Jack E Singley Academy boast rates above 95%. The student-to-teacher ratio of 39.9:1 is more than double that of any other school in the area, suggesting students receive very little individualized attention. The school also spends significantly less per student ($7,229) compared to nearby schools, which spend between $10,000 and $26,000.

Despite these struggles, there is one notable bright spot: in the most recent year, African American students at Winfree Academy ranked in the 98th percentile statewide, a dramatic improvement from the 12th percentile the year before. This isolated success may point to a new program or teacher that could be replicated for other students. However, the school's overall trajectory remains concerning, with state rankings stuck in the bottom 10% for nearly a decade. Located just 0.87 miles from Great Hearts Irving Upper, a high-performing charter with a 95.1% graduation rate and a 15.6:1 student-teacher ratio, Winfree Academy's challenges highlight how different educational models and resources can lead to vastly different outcomes for students.

Winfree Academy in Irving, Tx was the worst place I could have ever put my child. She walked in there a sober, clean, drug free student, and walked out of their addicted to cocaine. The drugs are so bad at this campus. The kids that attended are not only drug dealers and terrible, but lethal and scary. The teachers are there to collect a paycheck only. The last principal got fired for being inappropriate with a teenage student. Please! Don’t send your child to this school. Close Quote
