J T Brackenridge Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 93% Hispanic and over 98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with academic performance well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Nearby SAISD schools like David Barkley/Francisco Ruiz Elementary, De Zavala Elementary, and Margil Elementary also struggle with similar demographic and academic challenges, suggesting broader issues within the district.

Despite these challenges, J T Brackenridge Elementary has shown pockets of academic excellence, with its Gifted and Talented students ranking in the top 256 out of 3,106 Texas elementary schools in the 2017-2018 school year. However, the school's overall performance has steadily declined over the past decade, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2,059 out of 4,320 Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to the bottom 5% of schools currently. This trend suggests that the school's struggles may be worsening over time, warranting close attention and targeted interventions to support the students and 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.
