Rodriguez Montessori Elementary

Summary:

Rodriguez Montessori Elementary is a public charter elementary school serving 172 students in grades PK-4 in the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD). The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (76.74%) and a relatively high percentage of students (58.14%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income community.

Academically, Rodriguez Montessori Elementary outperforms the SAISD district average in reading proficiency for 3rd and 4th grades, but lags behind the state average. In mathematics, however, the school underperforms both the district and state averages. Interestingly, the school spends significantly more per student ($20,149) compared to nearby schools like KIPP Un Mundo Pri ($11,015) and Ogden Elementary ($11,193), which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance in reading.

While Rodriguez Montessori Elementary outperforms its SAISD district peers, it still faces challenges common to many schools serving low-income communities. Examining the instructional practices and support systems at the higher-performing charter schools in the area, such as Las Palmas Leadership School For Girls and Irving Dual Language Academy, could provide insights for Rodriguez Montessori Elementary to further enhance its academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics.

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.
