Ridgeview Elementary

Summary:

Ridgeview Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 541. The school is part of the North East Independent School District (NEISD), which has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ridgeview Elementary faces challenges in academic performance, with lower STAAR test scores compared to the NEISD and Texas state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of Ridgeview students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades was 50%, 39.39%, and 30.3%, respectively, compared to the NEISD averages of 54.39%, 58.47%, and 62.64%, and the Texas state averages of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%. Ridgeview's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 3636 out of 4260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 2191 out of 4581 in 2021-2022, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 1 star out of 5 to 3 stars out of 5.

Interestingly, the nearby NEISD schools, such as Jackson-Keller Elementary, Castle Hills Elementary, and Olmos Elementary, generally outperform Ridgeview Elementary in academic measures, school rankings, and ratings. These schools have higher percentages of students proficient or better in STAAR assessments, as well as higher statewide rankings and SchoolDigger ratings. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English language learners may be contributing factors to its lower academic performance compared to nearby schools, but the district's investment in resources, such as lower student-teacher ratios and higher spending per student, suggests a commitment to supporting student success.

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.
