Summary:

Cast Med High School is a public charter high school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 195 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District, which is ranked 811 out of 968 districts in the state.

Cast Med High School consistently outperforms the district and state in STAAR EOC exam proficiency, with a 68.42% proficiency rate in English II Reading compared to 44.73% for the district and 59.82% for the state. The school also excels in serving specific student groups, ranking 47th out of 1,371 Texas high schools for English Language Learners and 255th out of 1,820 for Hispanic students. Additionally, Cast Med maintains very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.5% to 0.9% over the past three years, significantly lower than district and state averages.

While Cast Med High School outperforms its district and the state, some nearby schools, such as Harlandale Independent School District (Isd) Stem Echs-Alamo Colleges At Pac, also demonstrate strong academic performance with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Cast Med's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its success, suggesting that adequate funding and resources can positively impact student outcomes.

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.
