Colonial Hills Elementary

Summary:

Colonial Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in the North East Independent School District (NEISD) in San Antonio, Texas, serving 682 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (68.77%), with significant Asian (12.17%), White (9.82%), and African American (7.18%) representation.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $11,373 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, Colonial Hills Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools and significantly underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.33% to 38.03% of Colonial Hills students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to district averages of 54.39% to 62.64% and state averages of 48.85% to 53.96%. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 8.62% to 18.06% of students proficient or better, compared to district averages of 42.09% to 55.16% and state averages of 40.86% to 48.96%. This low academic performance is likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 90% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).

Interestingly, while Colonial Hills Elementary struggles overall, the school performs relatively well for its gifted and talented students, ranking in the top third of Texas elementary schools in this category. This suggests that the school may have the capacity to improve its overall academic outcomes by applying the strategies and practices that are successful for its highest-performing students to the broader student population. Additionally, the nearby Olmos Elementary and Larkspur Elementary schools, which serve similar student demographics, significantly outperform Colonial Hills on academic measures, indicating that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the performance differences.

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.
