Summary

Yes Prep - Southeast is a public charter school in Houston, TX, serving 854 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc district, and it stands out for its exceptional ability to keep students on track to graduate, with a graduation rate consistently above 95% and a dropout rate of just 1.0%—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Sam Rayburn High School and South Houston High School, which have graduation rates ranging from 70% to 92.8% and dropout rates as high as 9.7%.

The school excels in high school academics, significantly outperforming state averages on end-of-course exams: 70% of students are proficient in English I Reading (state: 55.4%), 70.3% in English II Reading (state: 59.9%), 79.3% in Biology (state: 70.5%), and 81.6% in U.S. History (state: 70.2%). While middle school math is an area for growth—with only 30.2% of 6th graders and 37.4% of 7th graders proficient—the school shows a strong recovery by 8th grade, where 66.2% of students are proficient, likely due to acceleration into Algebra I. This is a notable strength compared to nearby comprehensive high schools that struggle to reach state averages in these subjects.

Yes Prep - Southeast has demonstrated a remarkable upward trend, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 79th percentile statewide in the most recent school year after a dip in the early 2020s. The school serves a predominantly low-income student body, with over 82% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it achieves outstanding results with specific student groups, ranking in the 91st percentile for African American students and the 94th percentile for English Language Learners. When compared to Beta Academy, another nearby charter school, Yes Prep - Southeast serves a higher percentage of low-income students and achieves its results with a lower student-teacher ratio (15.3 vs. 22.8), making its performance a particularly impressive feat of equity.
