Summary

Yes Prep - Northwest is a public charter school in Houston, TX (77040) serving 940 students in grades 6-12 as part of the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc district, which ranks in the top 26% of districts statewide. With a 4-star rating and a 75th percentile ranking among Texas high schools, this school stands out for its strong academic outcomes, especially given that 86.49% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1, allowing for more individualized attention than many larger traditional public schools in the area.

Yes Prep - Northwest consistently outperforms its closest neighbors on critical high school End-of-Course (EOC) exams. For example, it surpasses Jersey Village High School in Algebra I (67.8% vs. 41.3%), Biology (78.1% vs. 72.4%), and U.S. History (82.0% vs. 77.1%). The gap is even wider when compared to Spring Woods High School, where Yes Prep outperforms in English I (62.6% vs. 38.6%) and English II (68.2% vs. 42.1%). The school also significantly outperforms Cypress Ridge High School in Algebra I (67.8% vs. 36.5%) and Biology (78.1% vs. 55.8%). While the nearby Victory Early College High School achieves near-perfect scores, it is a selective-admissions school, making a direct comparison less meaningful.

One of the school's most notable strengths is its exceptional performance with high-need student groups, ranking in the 90th percentile for English Language Learners and the 88th percentile for low socio-economic status students. However, the school shows a clear pattern of strong high school math performance (67.8% proficient in Algebra I) compared to middle school math (only 30% proficient in 6th grade), suggesting effective acceleration for students who are behind. A persistent weakness is 8th Grade Social Studies, where only 15.65% of students are proficient—roughly half the state average. Over the past four years, the school has shown consistent improvement in core high school subjects, with Algebra I rising from 55% to 67.8% and Biology from 49% to 78.1%.
