R D S P D

R D S P D is a Title I public prekindergarten school that is part of the HOUSTON ISD school district, located in HOUSTON, TX with about 31 students. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 17 teachers, R D S P D has a student/teacher ratio of about 1:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The address provided, **4040 W Fuqua St, Houston, TX 77045**, is the location of the **Young Learners Charter Academy** (formerly known as the R.D.S.P.D. or Regional Day School Program for the Deaf facility). This campus is part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) network. The site is primarily dedicated to providing specialized educational services and support for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, offering a focused environment tailored to their unique communicative and academic needs.

As an HISD-affiliated site, the school operates under the district’s broader mission to provide inclusive and high-quality instruction. The facility is designed to integrate specialized resources—such as sign language support, audiological services, and adapted curricula—to ensure that students have equitable access to learning. By concentrating these resources in a centralized location, the school fosters a supportive community where students can develop both their academic potential and their interpersonal skills within a specialized educational framework.
