Irving Dual Language Academy

Summary:

Irving Dual Language Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in San Antonio, Texas, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of over 98%. Despite being part of the San Antonio Independent School District, which is ranked 811 out of 968 districts in Texas, Irving Dual Language Academy consistently outperforms the district and the state in academic performance.

The school's key strengths include its strong performance on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading, mathematics, and Algebra I, where it significantly outpaces the district and state averages. This academic success is attributed to the school's unique dual language program, which offers instruction in both English and Spanish. Additionally, Irving Dual Language Academy's student population is more homogeneous compared to nearby schools, with over 98% of students identifying as Hispanic, which may contribute to the school's targeted instructional strategies effectively serving this student demographic.

While Irving Dual Language Academy faces socioeconomic challenges, with over 92% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's performance is particularly noteworthy when compared to the nearby schools, such as Fenwick Academy, Margil Elementary, and De Zavala Elementary, which also serve predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations. The school's dual language program sets it apart from these nearby schools, which do not appear to offer a similar bilingual education approach.

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.
