Q: Is San Antonio Elementary School a good school?

San Antonio Elementary School ranks 1525 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

San Antonio Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dade City, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 573. The school is part of the Pasco District, which is ranked 42 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While San Antonio Elementary School has a higher percentage of White students (65.1%) compared to the more diverse nearby schools, it faces some notable challenges. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.5% in 2018-2019 to 32.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the Pasco District and Florida averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are below the Pasco and Florida averages. Furthermore, San Antonio Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.78% to 53.45% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When comparing San Antonio Elementary School to the nearby schools, such as New River Elementary School, Quail Hollow Elementary School, and Pinecrest Academy Wesley Chapel, it becomes evident that the school is performing below the Pasco District and state averages in several key areas, including test scores and chronic absenteeism. This downward trend in performance is concerning and warrants further investigation, as the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address these areas of concern and enhance student success.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
