Summary

Jack E Singley Academy is a public high school in Irving, TX, serving 1,697 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Irving Independent School District (Isd). Despite the district's overall low performance, Singley Academy stands out as a high-performing school with a strong upward trajectory, rising from the 50th percentile to the 65th percentile in state rankings over the past five years and earning a solid 3-star rating.

The school's most impressive differentiator is its near-perfect graduation rate of 99.7% and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. This dramatically outperforms nearby Irving ISD schools like Irving High School (91.6%) and MacArthur High School (94.0%), and even rivals elite magnet schools like North Lake Early College High School. Singley Academy also excels in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates of 57.96% in English I and 71.18% in English II—significantly above district averages. The school earns 4-star ratings for its work with African American students (89th percentile), low socio-economic status students (79th percentile), and special education students (72nd percentile), demonstrating effective support systems for diverse learners.

However, the school faces a notable "Algebra I paradox"—while strong in Biology, ELA, and U.S. History, only 34.78% of students are proficient in Algebra I, compared to 54.03% statewide. This persistent weakness contrasts with the school's rapid year-over-year improvement in serving subgroups like male students (44th to 68th percentile) and low socio-economic status students (57th to 79th percentile). Interestingly, Singley Academy outperforms nearby charter schools like Uplift Infinity Prep High School (53rd percentile) and Manara Leadership Academy (43rd percentile), while serving a student population with a free/reduced lunch rate (77.55%) that is 3-4 times higher than top-tier charters like Uplift North Hills Prep High School (99th percentile). This makes Singley Academy a compelling example of a comprehensive neighborhood school achieving above-average results with a high-needs population.
