Spring Meadows Elementary

Summary:

Spring Meadows Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 744 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Judson Independent School District.

While Spring Meadows has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (65.59%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 47.01% to 73.02% Hispanic, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3488 and 4162 out of 4578-4675 schools over the past several years. This low academic performance is reflected in the school's STAAR test scores, which are significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, Spring Meadows has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.7% to 87.68% over the past three years, compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 62.91% to 92.4%.

Interestingly, while the surrounding schools, such as Elolf Elementary, Idea Walzem Academy, and Mary Lou Hartman, also serve predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged populations, they generally outperform Spring Meadows on academic measures, indicating that the challenges faced by Spring Meadows may be unique or more pronounced. These factors, combined with the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 17.4, suggest that addressing the educational needs of the students at Spring Meadows will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach.

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.
