Texasworks - Irving

Texasworks - Irving is a very small alternative high school in Arlington, TX, serving just 30 students in grades 9 through 12 and is part of the Texas Works district, which ranks in the bottom 5% of all districts in Texas.

This school has a 1-star rating and a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 30:1, which is much higher than nearby schools like Uplift Summit Prep High School (a 4-star school with a 94.6% graduation rate) or Sam Houston High School. Academic performance is significantly below state averages: only 37.5% of students are proficient in English II (compared to the state average of 59.88%) and just 28.57% are proficient in U.S. History (compared to the state average of 70.17%). The school shares its address with another alternative school, Premier H S Of Arlington, which has a larger enrollment (176 students) and a lower student-teacher ratio (19.5:1), though both schools show similarly low test scores. Notably, Texasworks - Irving has no available data on graduation rates, dropout rates, or free/reduced lunch eligibility, making it difficult to fully assess the school's effectiveness or the challenges its students face.

For parents considering this school, the lack of key data and the very low academic performance are significant concerns. The high student-to-teacher ratio is particularly unusual for an alternative school, which typically relies on smaller class sizes for individualized attention. Nearby options like Uplift Summit Prep High School or Lamar High School offer much higher academic outcomes and more transparent data, which may be important factors in your decision-making process.
