Wanke Elementary

Summary:

Wanke Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 649 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Northside Independent School District. While the school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, it faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in STAAR Science, where only 14.29% of 5th-grade students are proficient or better, compared to 21.38% for the district and 26.29% for the state.

Wanke Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school performs relatively well for African American students, ranking in the top 541 out of 2,515 Texas elementary schools in 2018-2019.

Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 34.16% in 2020-2021 to 48.69% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools in the Northside Independent School District, such as Steubing Elementary and Braun Station Elementary, Wanke Elementary's academic performance is generally lower. However, the school performs better than some other nearby schools, such as Boone Elementary and Carnahan Elementary, which have even lower STAAR scores and rankings.

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.
