Dorie Miller Elementary

Summary:

Dorie Miller Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 326 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 ($17,571 in 2020-2021) than the state average, Dorie Miller Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with only 5% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading and Mathematics, compared to state averages of 48.85% and 40.86%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for female students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, ranking in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups. Nearby schools in the SAISD, such as Washington Elementary and Highland Park Elementary, as well as some local charter schools like Idea Najim Academy and Idea Eastside Academy, generally outperform Dorie Miller Elementary on academic measures.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (96.93%) at Dorie Miller Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance, as research has shown that poverty can have a substantial impact on student learning and achievement. However, the school's low ranking and performance on STAAR assessments, despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, suggest that factors beyond just resources and staffing may be at play, such as curriculum, instructional practices, or school leadership. The data analysis indicates that there may be opportunities for Dorie Miller Elementary to learn from and adopt successful practices from its higher-performing counterparts within the San Antonio Independent School District and other nearby 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.

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.
