Linton Elementary

Summary:

Linton Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 449 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Northside Independent School District, which is ranked 496 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linton Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 4,084 and 3,503 out of 4,675 schools in the state. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for specific student subgroups such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Linton Elementary has a very high percentage of students (89.53%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Linton Elementary struggles academically, the nearby schools within the same Northside Independent School District, such as Passmore Elementary, Esparza Elementary, Martin Elementary, and Powell Elementary, also perform poorly, with most ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools. This indicates a broader challenge within the district that extends beyond Linton Elementary, and suggests the need for targeted interventions and a holistic approach to school improvement across the region.

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.

Open Quote The staff is very professional great role models. My children 1st & 4th grade love the school. My children are in music and drama classes outside school so needless to say they like to be challenged educationally. Linton does that for them they are learning so much. I am a very happy parent!!!

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.
