Summary

Prairie Lea School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Prairie Lea Independent School District, with 265 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.2. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 75.85% in the 2023-2024 school year, and its spending per student was $11,568 in the 2020-2021 school year.

Despite facing significant challenges, Prairie Lea School has demonstrated strengths in key areas. The school has had strong graduation rates, with a 95.2% four-year graduation rate in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has had very low dropout rates, with a 0.0% dropout rate in the 2022-2023 school year, much lower than the state average. However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 6.67% of 5th graders projected to be proficient or better in STAAR Reading in 2024-2025, compared to 57.83% statewide.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Idea Kyle College Preparatory, Discipline Alternative School At Saegert, Ki Charter Academy, and Seguin Campus, Prairie Lea School generally has lower test scores and graduation rates, suggesting it may face unique challenges in serving its student population. Addressing the needs of the school's economically disadvantaged student population and identifying targeted interventions could be key to improving overall outcomes.
