San Antonio Preparatory

Summary:

San Antonio Preparatory is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-11 in San Antonio, Texas, with a student population of 156. The school has a predominantly African American (63.46%) and Hispanic (28.21%) student body, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 48.72% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($15,942 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby district-run schools, San Antonio Preparatory consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR assessments often less than half the state average. The school's performance is particularly low for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, which rank in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools. In contrast, nearby schools like Judson Middle, Krueger Middle, and Woodlake Hills Middle have significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments.

While San Antonio Preparatory has seen a significant improvement in its dropout rate, decreasing from 6.7% in 2020-2021 to 0.0% in 2021-2022, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 18.9, suggests a need to evaluate its resource allocation and utilization to better support student learning and achievement. The school's performance and resource challenges are further compounded by its location within the Judson Independent School District, which is ranked 924 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
