Locke Hill Elementary

Summary:

Locke Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 522 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.

Locke Hill Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (57.09%) compared to the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is mixed - it performs better than the district and state in 3rd grade reading, but lags behind in other grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and science. Locke Hill's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Asian students performing well, but African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students struggling. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 1156 out of 4329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 (rated 4 stars) to 2748 out of 4581 in 2021-2022 (rated 2 stars), indicating a decline in overall performance.

When compared to nearby schools within the Northside Independent School District, such as Thornton Elementary and Colonies North Elementary, Locke Hill Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in reading, but lags behind in mathematics and science. This suggests that the school may benefit from collaborating with higher-performing schools to share best practices and strategies. Additionally, Locke Hill's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 60% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the school's academic challenges and should be considered when developing targeted interventions and support programs.

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.
