Allen Elementary

Summary:

Allen Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 493 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.

While Allen Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population (95.13%), its academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 54.72% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 44.52% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Mathematics, with only 26.42% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better, compared to 37.6% for the district and 40.86% for the state. Additionally, the school's rankings for certain student subgroups, such as Special Education and African American students, are in the bottom 10% or 20% of Texas elementary schools.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the Northside Independent School District, such as Glenn Elementary and Westwood Terrace Elementary, have similar demographic profiles and academic performance to Allen Elementary. However, Lackland Elementary, which is in a different district (Lackland Independent School District), has significantly higher test scores and rankings, despite serving a more diverse student population with a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that the challenges faced by Allen Elementary may be systemic within the Northside Independent School District, and the school may need to explore strategies used by higher-performing schools to 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.
