George E Kelly Elementary

Summary:

George E Kelly Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 227 students in grades PK-5 and part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD).

George E Kelly Elementary stands out for its steady improvement in statewide ranking and rating, moving from a 1-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. This is a notable achievement compared to the surrounding schools, many of which have 0 or 1-star ratings. The school also outperforms the SAISD and Texas state averages on STAAR assessments in Reading and Mathematics for grades 3-5, with particularly strong performance among its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups. For example, in 5th grade STAAR Reading, 55.17% of George E Kelly students were proficient or better, compared to 38.15% for SAISD and 53.96% for Texas.

While George E Kelly Elementary is outperforming the district and state, the surrounding schools, particularly those in the Edgewood Independent School District, generally have lower performance on STAAR assessments and lower school rankings. This suggests that George E Kelly Elementary may be a relatively stronger-performing school in the local area, providing a valuable educational option for families in the community.

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.
