Summary:

Sotomayor High School is a public high school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 1,660 students in grades 9-12. As part of the Northside Independent School District, which is ranked 496 out of 968 districts in Texas, Sotomayor stands out for its strong academic performance, diverse student population, and relatively low student-teacher ratio.

Sotomayor High School consistently outperforms the district and state in several STAAR EOC (End of Course) exams, with particularly high proficiency rates in Biology (70.79%), English II Reading (74.21%), and U.S. History. The school's diverse student body, with a significant Hispanic and African American representation, is a positive indicator of its inclusiveness. Additionally, Sotomayor has a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (36.27%) compared to nearby schools like Marshall High School (66.55%) and Alternative High School (68.99%), suggesting a more affluent student population or effective socioeconomic support programs. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 16.6 may also contribute to its academic success.

While Sotomayor High School is a strong-performing school, nearby schools like Brandeis High School and O'Connor High School consistently outperform it in STAAR EOC exams and rank higher in the state-wide school digger rankings. On the other hand, schools like Marshall High School and Stevens High School have lower test scores and a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population. Overall, Sotomayor High School appears to be a solid choice for families in the San Antonio area, with opportunities for continued improvement and learning from its neighboring schools.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
