Cable Elementary

Summary:

Cable Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 455 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Northside Independent School District (NISD), which is ranked 496 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cable Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (over 94%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a more diverse racial composition. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. Its STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the NISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, Cable Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 98%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite spending around $11,900 per student, which is higher than the spending at some nearby schools, the school's academic performance remains poor.

The nearby schools, such as Allen Elementary, Glenn Elementary, and Westwood Terrace Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings, even though they serve similar student populations in terms of race and socioeconomic status. This highlights the potential for improvement at Cable Elementary if the right strategies and resources are implemented to address the persistent achievement gaps and provide a quality education for all students.

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.
