Summary

Yes Prep North Forest is a public charter school in Houston, TX (zip code 77050) serving 991 students in grades 6-12, and it has recently achieved a remarkable turnaround, jumping to the 80th percentile statewide in the 2025-2026 school year after years of lower performance. This school, part of the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc district, serves a high-poverty population with 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, yet it now outperforms many peers in similar demographics.

The most striking differentiator is the school's explosive growth in serving specific student groups. For special education students, the school leaped from the 15th percentile to the 92nd percentile, placing it in the top 8% of schools statewide—a stark contrast to nearby North Forest High School and Kashmere High School, which do not show similar high performance. English Language Learners and low-socioeconomic status students also rank in the 90th percentile or above. On End-of-Course exams, Yes Prep North Forest now exceeds state averages in Algebra I (69.2% proficient vs. 54.0%), Biology (80.0% vs. 70.5%), English I (68.0% vs. 55.4%), English II (73.4% vs. 59.9%), and U.S. History (85.1% vs. 70.2%). This is a dramatic reversal from just a few years ago, when the school lagged behind the state in nearly every subject.

Compared to KIPP Northeast College Preparatory, a nearby charter serving a similar high-poverty population, Yes Prep North Forest is far ahead—ranking in the 80th percentile versus KIPP's 36th, with Algebra I proficiency at 69.2% versus 26.5%. While the school's high school performance is excellent, middle school STAAR scores are mixed, with 6th and 8th grade math below state averages, suggesting the school excels at preparing students for high school coursework. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending $10,094 per student—significantly less than Hall Success Academy ($25,547) or Yes Prep - Northline ($13,727)—and maintains a low dropout rate of 1.0%, far better than nearby schools like Kashmere High School (6.3%).
