Tejeda Junior Academy

Summary:

Tejeda Junior Academy is a small public middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving just 19 students in 8th grade. As part of the Harlandale Independent School District, which is ranked 845 out of 968 districts in the state, Tejeda Junior Academy has consistently been one of the lowest-performing middle schools in Texas over the past decade.

Tejeda Junior Academy faces significant challenges, with a predominantly Hispanic student population (94-100%) and extremely low academic performance. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 11.11% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, 18.75% in STAAR Mathematics, 5.56% in STAAR Science, and 5.88% in STAAR Social Studies - far below the Harlandale ISD and Texas state averages. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 5.9% to 9.3% over the past four years, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (88.89% to 100%). While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby middle schools in the South San Antonio Independent School District and San Antonio Independent School District, Tejeda Junior Academy consistently underperforms, suggesting the school may face unique challenges that are not shared by the surrounding schools. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the school's persistent academic struggles and improve 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.
