San Antonio Preparatory Schools

San Antonio Preparatory is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 5-11 in the San Antonio Preparatory Schools district in San Antonio, Texas. With an enrollment of 156 students, the school has a predominantly African American (63.46%) and Hispanic (28.21%) student population, and a relatively high percentage (48.72%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage.

Academically, San Antonio Preparatory has struggled, with STAAR test scores well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools for the past three years, despite spending a relatively high $15,942 per student, which is above the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio of 18.9 is also slightly higher than the state average.

While the school has a 0.0% dropout rate, a positive indicator, the consistently low academic achievement suggests the need for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to the school's performance and the strategies required to improve student outcomes. The demographic composition of the student body, with a predominantly minority population, also raises questions about equity and access issues that may be impacting the school's ability to support student success.
