Driggers Elementary

Summary:

Driggers Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 495 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Northside Independent School District, which is ranked 496 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Driggers Elementary faces significant challenges compared to other Texas elementary schools. The school has a much higher Hispanic student population (82.83%) than the state average, with lower percentages of White (11.92%) and African American (3.23%) students. Academically, Driggers Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 5 years. The school struggles across various student subgroups, particularly for African American students, who rank in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools. Proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than district and state averages.

While nearby Powell Elementary and Oak Hills Terrace Elementary also perform poorly, other Northside ISD schools like Timberwilde Elementary and Elrod Elementary rank significantly better. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and English Language Learners at Driggers Elementary may be contributing to the school's low academic achievement, which has steadily declined over the past decade.

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.
