Summary:
Bexar County Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in San Antonio, Texas, with a total enrollment of 238 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (91.18%) and has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (94.12% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).
Academically, Bexar County Academy is struggling, with significantly lower STAAR test scores compared to the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's proficiency rates in reading, math, science, and social studies range from 0% to 25%, far below the state averages of 31.89% to 54.45%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high dropout rate of 4.4%, which is a concerning statistic that warrants further investigation.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,124, the academic performance remains very low, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to examine how funds are being utilized to support student learning. Overall, the data analysis suggests that Bexar County Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly low-income, Hispanic student population and may need to implement substantial improvements and interventions to better support the academic and social-emotional needs of its students.
