Summary

Idea Sports Park College Preparatory is a public charter high school in Brownsville, Texas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 408 students. The school is part of the Idea Public Schools district, which is ranked 465 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Idea Sports Park College Preparatory has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with below-average performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests compared to the state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics for 6th-8th grades, as well as its performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams, lag behind other schools in the area, such as South Texas Independent School District (ISD) Medical Professions and Idea Brownsville College Preparatory. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students and Hispanic students outperforming their female and White counterparts, respectively.

While Idea Sports Park College Preparatory has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to some nearby public schools, its academic performance and student retention rates suggest that the school may face challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's fluctuating dropout rates and the nearby Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District's higher four-year graduation rate of 95.4% at Idea Brownsville College Preparatory indicate that Idea Sports Park College Preparatory may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student engagement and academic success.
