Wright Elementary

Summary:

Wright Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 369 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Harlandale Independent School District, which is ranked 845 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wright Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly low-income, Hispanic student population. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.75% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools for this student group.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Harlandale ISD, such as Bellaire Elementary, Stonewall/Flanders Elementary, Collier Elementary, and E.H. Gilbert Elementary, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance levels as Wright Elementary, all ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. The nearby schools in the San Antonio ISD, such as Hillcrest Elementary, Riverside Park Elementary, and Charles C. Ball Elementary, have slightly higher academic performance but still struggle, with test scores below the state 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.
