El Dorado Elementary

Summary:

El Dorado Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 552 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the North East Independent School District (NEISD), which is ranked 421 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

El Dorado Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (88.59%) than surrounding schools, which range from 45.36% to 72.33% Hispanic. Additionally, El Dorado's test scores are consistently lower than NEISD and Texas state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 41.38% in 2023-2024, compared to 54.39% for NEISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years. El Dorado's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.61% to 87.55%, suggests the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

Interestingly, nearby charter schools like Basis San Antonio Pri - Northeast Campus and Idea Judson Academy have significantly outperformed El Dorado Elementary on standardized tests, despite serving similar student populations in terms of socioeconomic status and racial/ethnic diversity. This suggests that El Dorado may face challenges in terms of staffing, resources, or other factors that are impacting the school's ability to effectively support student learning.

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.
