Jackson-Keller Elementary

Summary:

Jackson-Keller Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 524 students. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (83.59%) and a very high percentage (over 95%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Academically, Jackson-Keller Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 35.42% of 3rd graders were proficient in STAAR Reading, compared to 54.39% in the North East Independent School District (NEISD) and 48.85% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for White and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools for these groups. However, the school performs better for English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup.

Compared to nearby schools like Ridgeview Elementary, Dellview Elementary, and Castle Hills Elementary, which generally perform better academically, Jackson-Keller Elementary faces significant challenges due to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's higher spending per student ($10,768 in 2020-2021) suggests that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to address the unique needs of the student population and improve academic 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.
