Summary

Yes Prep Airline Elementary in Houston, TX, is a public charter school serving 632 students in grades PK through 4, with over 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it is part of the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc district.

This school has experienced a significant decline in overall performance, dropping from a 3-star rating (58th percentile) in 2024-2025 to a 2-star rating (31st percentile) in 2025-2026, driven largely by a steep drop in math scores—3rd-grade math proficiency fell from 45% to just 22%. This contrasts sharply with nearby schools like Janowski Elementary (76th percentile) and Burbank Elementary (75th percentile), which maintained high performance. However, the school shows notable strengths: it ranks in the 78th percentile for African American students, and its bilingual program consistently outperforms state averages on Spanish STAAR exams (e.g., 60% proficiency in 4th-grade Spanish Reading vs. 37% statewide). The school also has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14:1, lower than most nearby HISD schools.

A critical challenge is serving Special Education students, who rank in the 6th percentile statewide—the lowest among all subgroups in the comparison group. While reading scores are a relative strength, they are not a safe haven, as 3rd-grade reading dropped from 60% to 49% proficiency. Interestingly, nearby charter KIPP Dream Prep serves a similar demographic but showed a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 24th to the 72nd percentile, highlighting that high performance is achievable in this community. Located just 0.08 miles from Northline Elementary (13th percentile), Yes Prep Airline's recent decline brings it closer to its struggling neighbor than to high-performing peers like Burbank, raising questions about math curriculum and instructional quality despite its smaller class sizes.
