Summary

Idea Judson College Preparatory in San Antonio, TX, is a public charter school serving 747 students in grades 6-12 as part of the Idea Public Schools district, and it serves a community where about 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has some notable strengths, including an exceptionally low dropout rate of just 0.4%, which is nearly as good as top-performing schools like Randolph High School (0.0%) and far better than its same-district peer, Idea Walzem College Preparatory (2.4%). Idea Judson also excels with English Language Learners, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide, and its middle school reading scores have consistently beaten state averages. However, the school has experienced a sharp decline, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 2-star rating in the most recent year. Its biggest challenges are in math, with only 19.57% of students proficient in Algebra I compared to 54.03% statewide, and it struggles to maintain its middle school success into high school.

When compared to nearby schools, the picture is mixed. While Idea Judson spends a moderate $10,099 per student, the nearby Judson Early College Academy achieves a 5-star rating with less spending ($6,793 per student) and a higher student-teacher ratio, showing that high performance is possible with fewer resources. Similarly, Idea Walzem College Preparatory, which serves a similar population, outperforms Idea Judson in nearly every metric, suggesting that school-level leadership and instruction are key factors in the recent struggles.
