Summary

Yes Prep - East End is a public charter school in Houston, TX, serving 1,014 students in grades 6-12 as part of the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc district. The school has shown a strong upward trend, climbing from a 2-star rating to a 3-star rating (62nd percentile) in recent years, and it stands out for its ability to achieve above-average results with a high-need student population.

The school's most impressive differentiator is its exceptional graduation and dropout rates. Yes Prep - East End consistently achieves a graduation rate above 92% (96.1% in 2023-2024) and a dropout rate below 1% (0.5% in 2023-2024). This starkly contrasts with nearby traditional public high schools like Austin High School (76% graduation, 6.1% dropout) and Chavez High School (83.5% graduation, 4.0% dropout). Even high-performing Eastwood Academy (98% graduation) is matched or slightly exceeded by Yes Prep's consistency. The school also excels in English Language Arts, with 8th-grade Reading proficiency (73.46%) far exceeding the state average (58.69%) and outperforming most nearby schools.

While Yes Prep - East End excels in literacy and graduation, its performance in Mathematics and Science is a clear area for growth. For example, 6th-grade Math proficiency (34.34%) was below the state average (38.57%). When compared to another charter in the same neighborhood, KIPP East End High School, Yes Prep has a higher overall state ranking (62nd vs. 42nd percentile) and outperforms KIPP in nearly every subject, most notably in Algebra I (58.06% vs. 29.79%) and English I (59.17% vs. 43.52%). The school's dramatic recovery from a low point during the pandemic—rebounding from the 41st percentile to the 62nd percentile—demonstrates strong leadership and effective interventions that have created a resilient school culture.
