Somerset Academy Lone Star

Q: Is Somerset Academy Lone Star a good school?

Somerset Academy Lone Star ranks 3162 nd of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Somerset Academy Lone Star is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-5 in San Antonio, TX, with a student population that has become increasingly Hispanic over the past few years, now making up 87.23% of the student body.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($25,758 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby district schools ($9,775 - $12,872 per student), Rogers Academy, Arnold Elementary, and others, Somerset Academy Lone Star has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools and received low SchoolDigger ratings of 1-3 stars out of 5. The school's proficiency rates on STAAR assessments are well below the state and San Antonio Independent School District (Isd) averages, especially in math and science.

Contributing factors to the school's academic struggles may include a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 81% in 2022-2023), a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 13:1, and inconsistent performance across grade levels and subject areas. The school's challenges in attracting and retaining a diverse student body, as evidenced by declining enrollment and a shift towards a higher Hispanic population, suggest the need for a comprehensive review of its educational strategies and resource allocation to better support student success.

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.
