Price Elementary

Summary:

Price Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 391 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the South San Antonio Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 906 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Price Elementary faces several key challenges, including low academic performance, declining statewide rankings, and significant disparities in student subgroup performance. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the South San Antonio ISD and the state of Texas averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading at Price Elementary was 35%, compared to 29.18% for the district and 53.96% for the state. Additionally, the school's performance on STAAR tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's 5th-grade English Language Learner (ELL) students having a 4 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating, while the school's overall 5th-grade students had a 1 out of 5 star rating.

Price Elementary's struggles are not unique within the South San Antonio ISD, as some nearby schools, such as Palo Alto Elementary and Miguel Carrillo Junior Elementary, also face low academic achievement. This suggests that the challenges faced by Price Elementary may be systemic within the district. Additionally, the extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Price Elementary, ranging from 90.58% to 95.4% over the past three school years, highlights the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the community, which may contribute to the academic struggles observed at the school.

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.
