Summary

Yes Prep - North Central is a public charter school in Houston, TX, serving grades 6-12 with just over 1,000 students, and is part of the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc network. Located in the Greenspoint area, the school serves a student body where approximately 90% come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and it has a strong track record of academic performance, consistently earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the last five years.

This school stands out dramatically from the large, traditional public high schools in the nearby Aldine Independent School District (Isd). Its graduation rate averages an exceptional 97.7%, far exceeding MacArthur High School (84.6%) and Aldine High School (83.0%), while its dropout rate is virtually zero (0.3%). Academically, Yes Prep - North Central outperforms its local district peers on STAAR End-of-Course exams, with proficiency rates in Algebra I (75.4%) nearly three times higher than the Aldine ISD average (46%), and in English II Reading (78.9%) nearly double that average (46.4%). The school is also highly efficient, achieving these strong results with a per-student spending of around $10,100, which is lower than many nearby schools.

While Yes Prep - North Central is a top-tier performer, it faces strong competition from specialized schools within Aldine ISD, such as Blanson Cte High School (96th percentile) and Avalos P-Technical School (90th percentile), which both outperform it. Its sister school, Yes Prep - Northline (3.2 miles away), is also a strong performer (83rd percentile). The school is particularly effective at serving high-needs student groups, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for low-income students and the 87th percentile for Hispanic students, making it a critical academic lifeline for its community.
