Westwood Terrace Elementary

Summary:

Westwood Terrace Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Northside Independent School District (ISD) in San Antonio, Texas, with a student population of 442 that is predominantly Hispanic (91.63% in 2022-2023). Unfortunately, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools by SchoolDigger, with a 1-star rating in recent years.

Westwood Terrace students consistently underperform compared to the Northside ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments, with only 30.43% of 3rd graders proficient in reading in 2023-2024 compared to 48.85% statewide. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While Westwood Terrace spends around $12,000 per student, which is higher than the state average, it is lower than some of the nearby schools in the Northside ISD, and the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of around 11.5-11.9.

The persistent academic struggles at Westwood Terrace Elementary suggest that the school is facing significant challenges in effectively educating its student population. Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Northside ISD, such as Passmore Elementary, Glenn Elementary, and Cable Elementary, also struggle academically and have similar socioeconomic profiles, indicating that the challenges may be systemic within the district and the broader community. However, some nearby Harmony Public Schools and IDEA Public Schools are outperforming the traditional public schools, suggesting that alternative educational models could be worth exploring to better serve the needs of the local community.

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.
