Original Research by School Decision on Highpoint - Daep
Highpoint - DAEP is an alternative school serving middle grades in La Porte, part of the La Porte Independent School District. The school is currently inactive, so it is not enrolling students at this time.
As an alternative school, Highpoint - DAEP would typically serve students who need a different educational setting from a traditional middle school, such as those working toward re-engagement, behavior intervention, or credit recovery. The school's name, DAEP, refers to the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program, a model used in Texas for students requiring structured re-entry pathways.
State testing data for this school are not available. The school records show only a single student tested in the most recent years for which data appear, and Texas suppresses academic results when participation is very small, in order to protect student privacy. This sparseness of enrollment is typical of alternative programs, which serve smaller, more specialized populations than mainstream schools.
No information is available on programs, staffing, attendance rates, or discipline procedures. Enrollment figures, student demographics, and free-or-reduced-price-lunch participation are not reported in the data.
The parent district, La Porte ISD, approved a substantial bond in May 2023 covering facility upgrades, safety and security improvements, technology, and infrastructure, along with a new athletic facility. The district structured the bond without increasing the school tax rate, a consideration that matters to families in the area weighing a move to the community.
Because the school is inactive, families interested in an alternative setting for a student in grades 6-8 would need to contact La Porte ISD directly to learn what in-district or out-of-district options are currently available.
