L B Johnson Elementary

Summary:

L B Johnson Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 348 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Edgewood Independent School District, which is ranked 907 out of 968 districts in the state.

L B Johnson Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools and performing well below state and district averages on STAAR tests. Only 16.33% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85% and the Edgewood ISD average of 24.64%. The school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 96.55% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3 and better performance for Gifted and Talented students suggest opportunities for targeted interventions and support.

Nearby schools within the Edgewood ISD, such as Roosevelt Dual Language Academy, Roosevelt Elementary, and Loma Park Elementary, also perform poorly on STAAR tests and have similar socioeconomic profiles. In contrast, the nearby Esparza Elementary and Huppertz Elementary, which are part of the Northside ISD and San Antonio ISD, respectively, have higher academic performance and lower percentages of students from low-income families.

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.
