Summary

Yes Prep - West is a public charter school in Southwest Houston serving 990 students in grades 6 through 12, part of the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc network, where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable recent turnaround and exceptional performance with specific student groups. After a period of decline, Yes Prep - West has rebounded to the 66th percentile statewide (3 stars) in 2025-2026, with outstanding results for English Language Learners (90th percentile), African American students (83rd percentile), and students from low-income backgrounds (81st percentile). The most dramatic improvement came in special education, jumping from the 20th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 77th percentile just two years later. Compared to nearby traditional high schools like Hastings High School and Sharpstown High School, Yes Prep - West has a significantly lower dropout rate (0.9% vs. 3.3% and 7.2% respectively) and a more stable graduation rate (84.8%). The school also outperforms the state average on high school exit exams in Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History.

However, parents should be aware of a clear academic split: while high school performance is strong, middle school math is a significant weakness. Only 24.8% of 8th graders and 32.4% of 6th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, well below state averages. This contrasts sharply with nearby KIPP Connect Preparatory, which excels in middle school math but lags behind Yes Prep in high school subjects. Yes Prep - West operates efficiently, spending about $10,300 per student—comparable to Alief ISD schools—while achieving better outcomes for its student population. The school's history of volatility (peaking at the 91st percentile in 2016-2017 before dropping to the 42nd percentile) suggests ongoing changes, but the strong recent rebound indicates successful strategic shifts are taking hold.
