Northwest Crossing Elementary

Summary:

Northwest Crossing Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 401 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Northside Independent School District. The school faces significant challenges, with a high Hispanic student population, lower-than-average test scores, and a large percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Northwest Crossing Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency (42.37%) is significantly below the Northside Independent School District (44.52%) and state (48.85%) averages. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 66.33% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Northwest Crossing Elementary is part of the same district as nearby schools like Braun Station Elementary, its performance lags behind many of them. For instance, Braun Station Elementary, located just 1.49 miles away, consistently outperforms Northwest Crossing Elementary on state assessments. Despite the school's challenges, its per-student spending is relatively high, reaching $13,025 in the 2020-2021 school year, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning.

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.
