Summary

Idea Ambrose And Freda Robinson College Preparator is a small public charter middle school in San Antonio, TX, serving 111 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Idea Public Schools district, which ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide.

This school has experienced a dramatic and concerning decline in academic performance over the last four years. After reaching the 80th percentile (4 stars) in the 2022-2023 school year, it has dropped sharply to the 15th percentile (1 star) for the 2025-2026 school year—a loss of 65 percentile points. Math proficiency has collapsed, with 7th-grade math falling from 55% proficient to just 14.29%, and 6th-grade math dropping from 40% to 12.5%. While the school has invested in a very low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 (compared to 15.3 at nearby Luna Middle), this has not translated into improved outcomes. The school's college-prep mission is undermined by these results, as only 7.89% of students taking Algebra I were proficient, versus 54.03% statewide.

Comparisons to nearby schools highlight the severity of the situation. While Jubilee School of Innovation and Arts (69 students, similar demographics) has shown a strong upward trend from the 5th to the 53rd percentile, and Lighthouse Middle (101 students) has improved from the 7th to the 36th percentile, Idea Robinson is moving in the opposite direction. The nearby Basis San Antonio - Jack Lewis Junior Campus (5.3 miles away) consistently ranks in the 85th-91st percentile, with 85.71% proficient in 8th-grade math versus Idea Robinson's 0% for that test. This rapid decline makes Idea Robinson a critical case for intervention, as it has gone from a top-performing school to one of the lowest in the area.
