Promesa Academy Charter School

Promesa Academy Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Promesa Academy Charter School District, located in San Antonio, Texas. With a total enrollment of 313 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Promesa Academy Charter School struggles significantly, with proficiency rates in reading, math, and science well below the state averages. For example, only 23.75% of 3rd-grade students are proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. Similarly, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is just 2.63%, far behind the state's 26.29%. These persistent academic challenges are concerning, especially given the school's higher-than-average spending of $12,661 per student.

The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (78.59%), and a high percentage (68.69%) of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage. While the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 could be a positive factor, it does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the school's challenges will require a comprehensive approach to support the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and implement effective instructional practices to drive academic improvement.
