Summary

Idea Monterrey Park College Preparatory is a public charter school in San Antonio, TX, serving 743 students in grades 6-12 as part of the Idea Public Schools network, located in a community where 83.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out most for its exceptional math performance, which far exceeds nearby traditional schools. In 6th grade math, 51.67% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 38.57%, and in 7th grade math, 57.52% are proficient versus the state's 29.41%. Algebra I proficiency hits 64%, while nearby Holmes High School (in Northside Independent School District (Isd)) reaches only 37.5% and Memorial High School (in Edgewood Independent School District (Isd)) just 33.08%. The school also excels with at-risk students, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide, and maintains a strong 86.5% graduation rate with a low 1.3% dropout rate—far better than the Edgewood ISD average of 69.9% graduation and the 27.8% dropout rate at Learn4life.

While the school has dipped slightly from a 4-star peak in 2022-2023 to a current 3-star rating (67th percentile), it remains a high-performing option in a challenging district. It achieves these results with a relatively efficient budget of $9,761 per student, lower than nearby Memorial High School ($10,775) and Steam At The Fine Arts Academy ($13,127). For families seeking a college-preparatory environment with strong math outcomes, this school offers a clear alternative to struggling area schools, though it should not be compared to the selective-admissions Young Women's Leadership Academy, which serves a different demographic.
