St Anthony School

Q: Is St Anthony School a good school?

St Anthony School ranks 1026 th of 2361 Texas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

St Anthony School is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Dallas, TX, with a student population of 109. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District, which is ranked 424 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

St Anthony School has several notable strengths, including a consistently high performance for its African American students, who rank in the top 25% of Texas middle schools for this subgroup. The school has also maintained an impressive 0% dropout rate for the past 5 years. However, the school faces challenges in addressing the needs of special education and gifted and talented students, whose performance has been weaker compared to the overall student population. When compared to nearby William B. Travis Vanguard Academy and John Lewis Social Justice Academy, which are magnet schools, St Anthony School's overall academic achievement lags behind, with much lower proficiency rates in core subjects.

St Anthony School serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 76.47% to 91.74% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years. This high poverty rate may contribute to the school's fluctuating performance and 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, which has ranged from 4 stars to 3 stars in recent years. The school's high spending per student, ranging from $8,107 to $9,915 over the past 3 years, suggests the need for additional resources and targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by the 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.
