Schenck Elementary

Summary:

Schenck Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 544 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.

Schenck Elementary stands out for its high percentage of Hispanic students (92.83%) and its relatively strong performance on STAAR assessments compared to the SAISD district average, particularly for English Language Learners (ELL) and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and it struggles to support its special education and gifted/talented student populations. Interestingly, Schenck outperforms nearby SAISD schools like Charles C. Ball Elementary and Muriel Forbes Elementary, but lags behind schools in the neighboring East Central ISD, such as Salado Elementary and Highland Forest Elementary.

Despite Schenck Elementary's significant per-student funding allocation of $11,699 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average, the school's overall academic performance has been declining. This suggests a need for further improvement to better serve all students, including those with special needs and advanced learners. Parents considering Schenck Elementary should weigh its unique student demographics, strong ELL and low-SES performance, and the school's challenges in supporting specialized student populations.

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.
