Roy Cisneros Elementary

Summary:

Roy Cisneros Elementary is a public charter school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 210 students in grades K-7. The school is part of the Edgewood Independent School District, which is ranked 907 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating.

Roy Cisneros Elementary faces significant challenges in serving its predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with low academic performance across all grade levels and subjects. It struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% for Hispanic, male, female, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Despite spending between $9,289 and $11,358 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance remains significantly below the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Roosevelt Elementary, Las Palmas Leadership School For Girls, and Irving Dual Language Academy, which also serve predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student populations, generally outperform Roy Cisneros Elementary on academic measures. Some of these nearby schools, like Roosevelt Dual Language Academy and Irving Dual Language Academy, even offer successful dual language programs that appear to be more effective in serving their Hispanic student populations.

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.
