Royal Academy Of Excellence

Summary:

Royal Academy Of Excellence is a public charter elementary school serving 192 students in grades K-8 in San Antonio, Texas, which is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), ranked 950 out of 968 districts in the state.

Despite having a predominantly Hispanic student population (88.54%), Royal Academy Of Excellence performs significantly below the state and district averages on STAAR tests. In 2023-2024, only 13.16% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance is also lower than nearby schools like Charles C Ball Elementary and Wright Elementary, which have similar demographics. Additionally, the school has an extremely high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 98.44% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year.

Royal Academy Of Excellence's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 3973 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 4548 out of 4675 in 2023-2024. The school's performance is particularly low for certain subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the school's higher spending per student of $13,765 in 2020-2021 compared to nearby schools, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting the need for more effective instructional strategies and interventions to support its students' academic growth.

2022	111	15.6	7.0	97.3

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
