Uplift Education - Infinity Preparatory Pri, Irving TX

Original Research by School Decision on Uplift Education - Infinity Preparatory Pri

Uplift Education - Infinity Preparatory Primary serves kindergarten through fifth grade in Irving, a single charter school that enrolls a small, tightly concentrated student body. The enrollment skews heavily toward Hispanic students, with a substantial share qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school is part of the Uplift Education network, a Dallas-area charter operator that recently regained access to public accountability ratings after a multi-year legal delay, giving families a clearer window into school performance across the network.

On the most recent state testing results available, the school's performance in mathematics outpaced English language arts. In third and fourth grade math, where the school had meaningful test participation, approximately three-fifths of students reached proficiency. In reading and language arts, the results were softer, with less than half of tested third and fourth graders meeting proficiency standards. Fifth grade test data came from a very small group and does not provide reliable trend information. The school reported broadly that about three-quarters of students in tested grades met or exceeded standards across all subjects combined, though this aggregate figure masks variation between subject areas and grades.

The testing snapshot covers only a single year, so trends cannot yet be assessed. Parents evaluating this school may want to look into the school's reading instruction approach, given the lower language arts results compared to math, and whether the school has plans to strengthen early literacy.

The school's location in Irving places it in a housing market where home values have modestly declined while rental rates have edged upward. The community context data available did not capture information about Irving's character, walkability, major employers, or civic anchors. What we know is that the school sits within a larger charter network that recently launched healthcare career pathways at its high schools, a shift that signals the network's movement toward career and technical education alongside its traditional college-prep identity. That direction may influence the tone and emphasis as students progress from elementary through Uplift's secondary schools.

The school enrolls younger children only, so no graduation rate or high school readiness data apply. Disciplinary data, attendance rates, and staffing details were not available. The school's proficiency index across tested grades and subjects positions it in the top quartile among Dallas County districts, a strength on the overall achievement measure, though the language arts results suggest particular attention to early reading would serve these students well.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
