Glass Elementary

Summary:

Glass Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 458 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.

Glass Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past few years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.29% of 3rd graders and 29.03% of 5th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to district averages of 37.6% to 48.34% and state averages of 40.86% to 48.96%. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 87.77% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these academic struggles.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Northside Independent School District, such as Glenoaks Elementary and Villarreal Elementary, generally perform better than Glass Elementary on academic measures, despite serving similar demographics. Additionally, the public charter school Idea Ingram Hills Academy, located near Glass Elementary, outperforms the school on most academic measures, suggesting that more effective strategies may be needed to support the students at Glass Elementary.

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.
