Fisher Elementary

Summary:

Fisher Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 562 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.

While Fisher Elementary has a diverse student population, with 88.79% Hispanic, 6.58% White, 3.56% African American, and smaller percentages of Asian and multiracial students, the school's academic performance on STAAR assessments is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the lower grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.33% of 3rd graders at Fisher Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 44.52% in the district and 48.85% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student groups, with lower outcomes for male, Hispanic, and African American students compared to their female and White/Asian peers.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Northside Independent School District, such as Glenn Elementary, Cody Elementary, and Michael Elementary, tend to outperform Fisher Elementary on STAAR assessments. Additionally, local charter schools, like Harmony School of Excellence - San Antonio and Idea Burke Academy, also demonstrate higher student achievement, particularly in the upper grade levels. These comparisons suggest that Fisher Elementary may need to implement targeted strategies to address the unique challenges faced by its student population and close the performance gaps.

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.
