Young Women's Leadership Academy

Summary:

Young Women's Leadership Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in San Antonio, Texas, with a diverse student population of 528, the majority of whom are Hispanic (87.5% in 2022-2023).

This exceptional school has consistently outperformed the San Antonio Independent School District (ISD) and the state of Texas in academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates on standardized tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school had proficiency rates of 97.78% in 6th grade STAAR/Reading and 92% in 7th grade, compared to just 35.46% and 31.66% for the San Antonio ISD, and 54.45% and 52.08% for the state of Texas. The school also maintains a remarkable 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, far exceeding the state averages. Additionally, Young Women's Leadership Academy's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American and English Language Learner students, is particularly noteworthy, ranking among the top schools in Texas for these populations.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Edison High School, Travis Early College High School, and Jefferson High School, Young Women's Leadership Academy stands out with its significantly higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower dropout rates. This is particularly impressive given that the school serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (44.7% free/reduced lunch recipients in 2022-2023), demonstrating its ability to provide a high-quality education to a diverse student population.

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.
