Collier Elementary

Summary:

Collier Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 389 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Harlandale Independent School District, which is ranked 845 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Collier Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly in student performance. The school has an overwhelmingly Hispanic student population, with over 98% of students identifying as Hispanic, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Collier's test scores on the STAAR assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages, especially in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 14.52% of 3rd graders at Collier Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 20.69% for the Harlandale ISD and 40.86% for the state. Additionally, Collier Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.58% to 94.34% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

Collier Elementary's performance also lags behind nearby schools, such as V.M. Adams Elementary and Hutchins Elementary, as well as charter schools like Idea Ewing Halsell Academy and Prelude Preparatory Charter School, which generally outperform Collier Elementary on the STAAR assessments, particularly in reading. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 1,684 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 4,049 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, suggests that it is struggling to keep up with the performance of other elementary schools in the state.

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.
