E H Gilbert Elementary

Summary:

E H Gilbert Elementary is a pre-kindergarten through 5th grade school located in San Antonio, Texas that serves a predominantly Hispanic student population from low-income backgrounds. With just over 500 students, the school is part of the Harlandale Independent School District, which is ranked 845 out of 968 school districts in the state.

E H Gilbert Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.19% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to 48.85% statewide. The school's low academic achievement is consistent with the overall performance of nearby San Antonio ISD and Harlandale ISD schools, which also struggle to meet state standards. However, Steele Montessori Elementary and Idea South Flores Academy, two nearby charter schools, tend to outperform the traditional public schools in the area.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student, E H Gilbert Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. The school's high percentage of Hispanic (98.67%) and low-income (96% qualify for free/reduced-price lunch) students likely contributes to its academic struggles, as these populations often face more barriers to educational success. Targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to addressing the unique needs of the school's student body will be crucial for driving meaningful progress and closing the performance gap with state and district averages.

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.
