Idea Monterrey Park Academy

Q: Is Idea Monterrey Park Academy a good school?

Idea Monterrey Park Academy ranks 2778 th of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Idea Monterrey Park Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in San Antonio, Texas, with a predominantly Hispanic student population. However, the school has struggled academically, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics.

Idea Monterrey Park Academy's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's high-poverty student population, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these challenges. Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Edgewood Independent School District (ISD) also perform at a similar or lower level on state assessments, suggesting systemic issues in the area.

Compared to the nearby Edgewood ISD schools, Idea Monterrey Park Academy has lower spending per student and a higher student-teacher ratio, which may be factors in its academic struggles. The school's performance also varies significantly by student subgroup, with Hispanic and male students generally outperforming African American and female students. Addressing these resource constraints and targeting support for underperforming subgroups could be important steps in improving academic outcomes at Idea Monterrey Park Academy.

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.
