As part of the San Antonio Independent School District, which has a 1-star rating, Fox Technical stands out with its strong academic performance, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates.

Compared to the surrounding schools, Fox Technical has a significantly higher Hispanic student population, over 93%, and outperforms the district and state in several STAAR End-of-Course exam proficiency rates, such as a 65.12% proficiency rate in Biology, compared to the district's 39.01% and the state's 57.31%. The school also maintains consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 96.2% to 100% over the past five years, and relatively low dropout rates, from 0.0% to 1.2%. However, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating have declined in recent years, from 5 stars to 3 stars, suggesting potential challenges in maintaining its academic excellence.

While Fox Technical High School generally outperforms nearby schools like Travis Early College High School and Cast Technical High School in academic metrics, graduation rates, and dropout rates, the nearby schools also demonstrate strong performance, indicating a competitive educational landscape in the area. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students (over 86%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the school's recent performance decline.

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.
