Sst Northwest

Summary:

Sst Northwest is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in San Antonio, Texas, part of the highly-ranked Northside Independent School District (Isd). With a diverse student population, Sst Northwest consistently outperforms the state and its district on academic assessments, particularly in reading and math, and excels in supporting the achievement of specific student subgroups.

Sst Northwest's academic performance is a standout, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state and district in 3rd-8th grade reading (63.64% to 78.95% vs. 48.85% to 54.09% for the state) and math (46.38% to 58.82% vs. 37.1% to 48.96% for the state). The school ranks in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools for African American students and English Language Learners, and maintains a 0% dropout rate, far below the state average. However, the school struggles to achieve the same level of success with other subgroups, like Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status students, suggesting a need to further differentiate its instructional approaches.

Compared to nearby Knowlton Elementary, Franklin Elementary, and other Northside ISD schools, Sst Northwest outperforms on most STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and math. However, the school's spending per student has fluctuated over the past three years, ranging from $7,437 to $21,760, indicating a need to evaluate its resource allocation to ensure consistent and effective investment in student learning.

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.
