Bexar County Academy

Summary:

Bexar County Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in San Antonio, Texas, with a student population of 238. The school is located in the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked 962 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bexar County Academy faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (91.18%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 82.54% to 98.12% Hispanic students. Academically, Bexar County Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger and STAAR test scores that are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school has also seen a steady increase in dropout rates, from 0% in 2018-2019 to 4.4% in 2021-2022, and an extremely high percentage of students (over 94%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the high spending per student at Bexar County Academy ($14,124 in 2020-2021), which is significantly more than the nearby schools, which range from $10,606 to $12,220 per student, the school is not achieving commensurate academic outcomes. This suggests potential issues with the efficient and effective use of resources, and the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to address the root causes of the school's struggles and improve student outcomes. Nearby schools like Madison Elementary, Maverick Elementary, and Loma Park Elementary may provide useful points of comparison for Bexar County Academy as it works to improve its performance.

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.
