Laurel Ridge

Summary:

Laurel Ridge is a small public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in San Antonio, Texas, with a student population of only 36 students. As part of the North East Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked 846 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Laurel Ridge faces several challenges in providing a quality education to its diverse student body.

One key differentiator is Laurel Ridge's racial makeup, with a higher percentage of White students (41.67%) compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have more Hispanic and African American students. Academically, Laurel Ridge's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 22.22% of 7th graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 27.94% for the district and 52.08% for the state. However, the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate, which is a positive metric. Interestingly, Laurel Ridge spends significantly more per student ($13,798 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby public schools, such as Churchill High School, Veterans Memorial High School, and Johnson High School, which spend around $8,500 to $9,500 per student.

The small size of Laurel Ridge, with its low student-teacher ratio ranging from 8:1 to 12:1, may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support, but it also raises questions about the school's ability to offer a wide range of academic and extracurricular programs. When compared to the nearby public high schools, Laurel Ridge's academic performance and overall school metrics are generally lower, indicating a need for improvement. Continued monitoring and data-driven decision-making will be crucial for Laurel Ridge to enhance its educational outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
