Collins Garden Elementary

Summary:

Collins Garden Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 426 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 the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($10,935 in 2020-2021) than the state average, Collins Garden Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with consistently low performance on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25% of 3rd graders were proficient in STAAR Reading, compared to 48.85% statewide and 30.88% in the SAISD. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Mathematics, with only 10.71% of 3rd graders and 29.63% of 5th graders meeting proficiency, compared to 40.86% and 48.96% statewide, respectively.

While the school's predominantly Hispanic (97.18%) and economically disadvantaged (95.31% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) student population may contribute to the low academic performance, nearby Storm Elementary and other SAISD schools serving similar demographics outperform Collins Garden Elementary on STAAR assessments, suggesting the school may be facing unique or more severe challenges that are not being adequately addressed.

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.
