Memorial High School

Summary:

Memorial High School is a public high school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 872 students in grades 9-12. It 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 from SchoolDigger.

Memorial High School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is significantly below the state and district averages across all subjects. The school also has a lower 4-year graduation rate and a higher dropout rate compared to the state average. Certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, perform particularly poorly, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Texas high schools in these categories. With over 85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Memorial High School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population.

When compared to nearby schools, both within the Edgewood ISD and in the San Antonio ISD, Memorial High School generally performs worse academically. For example, the STEAM at the Fine Arts Academy and Idea Monterrey Park College Preparatory, both public charter schools, outperform Memorial High School on STAAR EOC exams by a significant margin. Memorial High School's performance has remained consistently low over the past several years, suggesting that the school may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed.

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.
