Gillette Elementary

Summary:

Gillette Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 510 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.

Gillette Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with student performance on STAAR tests well below the state and district averages across most grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.14% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance is also below that of nearby H.W. Schulze Elementary and Collier Elementary, which have higher STAAR scores and better overall rankings. However, Gillette Elementary outperforms some nearby schools in the South San Antonio Independent School District, such as Hutchins Elementary and Palo Alto Elementary, which have even lower academic performance.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Gillette Elementary (91.57% in 2022-2023) may be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance. However, the school has a relatively high per-student spending level and a low student-teacher ratio, suggesting that the district is investing resources in the school. Gillette Elementary's strong performance on STAAR Spanish assessments also indicates that the school may be effectively serving its Spanish-speaking student population, which could be an area of focus for improvement. Addressing the needs of the school's economically disadvantaged students and implementing targeted strategies for underperforming subgroups, such as Special Education and Gifted and Talented students, could be key focus areas for the school and district to improve overall student outcomes.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Gillette Elementary
