Villarreal Elementary

Summary:

Villarreal Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 615 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Northside Independent School District, which is ranked 496 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Villarreal Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past decade. The school has a much higher Hispanic student population (85.2%) compared to the state average, but struggles with lower performance across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in reading and science. Only 25.86% and 9.09% of students, respectively, met proficiency standards in these subjects in 2023-2024. The school's Asian, African American, and White student subgroups perform especially poorly, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Texas elementary schools. However, the school's English Language Learner and Special Education students perform better, ranking in the middle 50% of the state.

Villarreal Elementary's challenges are likely exacerbated by its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 83% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch). The nearby Esparza Elementary, Powell Elementary, and Glass Elementary schools in the Northside Independent School District have similar demographic profiles and academic performance, while the local charter schools generally perform worse than Villarreal Elementary. Addressing the school's persistent underperformance, particularly in reading and science, will likely require targeted interventions and additional support to help improve student 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.
