V M Adams Elementary

Summary:

V M Adams Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 591 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.

V M Adams Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 98.48% Hispanic and an extremely high percentage of students (91.97% to 95.09%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school consistently performs below the Harlandale ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments, with 3rd grade reading proficiency at just 27% compared to the district's 29.9% and the state's 48.85%. V M Adams Elementary has also consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the nearby schools in the Harlandale ISD also struggle with low performance, V M Adams Elementary generally ranks lower than these schools, including Idea South Flores Academy, Royal Academy Of Excellence, and Riverside Park Elementary. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.3 to 17.4, could be a potential advantage, but this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as teacher quality and instructional practices, may need to be 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.
