Passmore Elementary

Summary:

Passmore Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 376 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.

Passmore Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 4,200-4,400 out of around 4,600 schools in recent years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 19.61% of 3rd-grade students at Passmore Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 44.52% in the NISD and 48.85% statewide. Passmore Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female students, Hispanic students, and students with special education needs.

Passmore Elementary has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.84% in 2020-2021 to 92.42% in 2021-2022, indicating that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. The nearby schools within the NISD, such as Martin Elementary, Westwood Terrace Elementary, and Linton Elementary, also struggle academically, with similar low rankings and STAAR performance. However, some of these schools, like Westwood Terrace Elementary and Linton Elementary, perform slightly better than Passmore Elementary on certain metrics, suggesting that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by these schools.

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.
