Summary:
In zip code 75065 (Corinth, TX), there is one high school, Founders Classical Academy Corinth - Upper School, a public charter school serving grades 6 through 12 with a total enrollment of 509 students.
Founders Classical Academy Corinth - Upper School is a standout for its strong academic performance in several core subjects, particularly reading, English, biology, and U.S. History, where it consistently outperforms both its district, Texas College Preparatory Academies, and state averages. The school has shown an impressive upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 66th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 72nd percentile in 2025-2026, and now holds a 4-star rating. It also boasts a high graduation rate of 98.0% and a very low dropout rate of 0.5%. However, a critical area of weakness is mathematics, with only 27.72% of students proficient in Algebra I in 2025-2026, which is less than half the state average of 54.03% and significantly below the district's own average of 49.05%.
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 and a per-student spending of $9,236, which is relatively low, suggesting efficient use of resources. The school serves a population where 19.65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The most striking finding is the contrast between its science and math performance: while 90.32% of students were proficient in Biology, far exceeding the state average, the Algebra I proficiency rate is a major concern. This "charter school paradox" in math, where the school underperforms its own district, indicates a specific instructional challenge that parents should investigate further.
