Ott Elementary

Summary:

Ott Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 563 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Northside Independent School District. While the school has some strengths, it faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and a student population that is significantly more Hispanic than the state average.

Ott Elementary's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages, with only 33.96% of 3rd graders proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 37.6% for the district and 40.86% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong results for African American and White students, but struggles with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. However, Ott Elementary stands out in its Gifted and Talented program and Special Education services, ranking in the top 40% and top 25% of Texas elementary schools, respectively.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Forester Elementary and Langley Elementary, Ott Elementary generally performs worse on STAAR tests, particularly in mathematics. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the area. Additionally, Ott Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50.62% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which can be a significant factor impacting academic performance.

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.
