Summary:
For zip code 77384, there is only one elementary-level school, Quest Collegiate Academy - Shenandoah, a K-8 charter school within the Texas College Preparatory Academies district, serving 406 students in a suburban area with a lower-than-average rate of economic disadvantage.
Quest Collegiate Academy - Shenandoah presents a unique profile of stark contrasts. The school shows exceptional strength in upper grades, with 8th-grade reading proficiency at 85.37% and 8th-grade science at 72.09%, both far exceeding district and state averages. Most notably, students achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, more than doubling the district average. However, this success is sharply contrasted by significant struggles in lower grades, where math proficiency in grades 3 through 6 ranges from just 21.95% to 27.42%—roughly half the district and state averages. The school also has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 15.4:1 and a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 29.31%, yet its overall ranking places it in the 35th percentile (2 out of 5 stars) for the 2024-2025 school year.
Key findings reveal a "tale of two schools" within one campus: foundational skills in elementary math and reading are weak, while advanced courses in middle school produce outstanding results. The school also reports a concerning 2.3% dropout rate for a K-8 school, higher than the district average of 1.5%, suggesting student churn. Performance is inconsistent across subjects, with 8th-grade social studies proficiency at only 23.26%, below both district and state averages. For parents, this school offers a highly personalized environment and exceptional outcomes for advanced students in upper grades, but families should be aware of the significant challenges in building strong academic foundations during the elementary years.
