Lewis Elementary

Summary:

Lewis Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 511 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Northside Independent School District. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (77.1%), with smaller percentages of White, African American, Asian, and multiracial students.

Overall, Lewis Elementary faces challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests generally below district and state averages, particularly in 4th grade math and 5th grade science. The school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from the top 39% of Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019 to the bottom 51% in 2023-2024. This may be partly due to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (62.62%) and the need for additional resources and support. Interestingly, the school performs relatively well for its White and Gifted and Talented students, but struggles with its Hispanic and Special Education populations.

Comparing Lewis Elementary to nearby schools, the data suggests that alternative educational models, such as Basis San Antonio Pri - Jack Lewis Junior Campus and Idea Burke Academy, are achieving stronger academic outcomes, particularly in reading and math. This highlights the potential for innovative approaches to improve student learning and growth at Lewis 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.
