Briscoe Elementary

Summary:

Briscoe Elementary is a public charter school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 446 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD), which is ranked 811 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Briscoe Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The school has a very high percentage of Hispanic (95.96%) and economically disadvantaged (over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) students, which may contribute to its academic struggles. However, Briscoe's performance on STAAR assessments is consistently well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates often less than half of the comparison groups. This suggests that the school is failing to adequately prepare its students for academic success. When compared to nearby schools like Bonham Academy and Robert B. Green Elementary, which serve similar student populations, Briscoe Elementary is an outlier in terms of academic performance.

Briscoe Elementary has been a consistently low-performing school for several years, with its statewide ranking consistently in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. The school spends around $11,500 per student, which is slightly higher than the district average but still relatively low compared to the state. This persistent underperformance and lack of progress over time suggest that substantial interventions and support may be needed to improve the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Briscoe Elementary.

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.
