Frank Madla Elementary

Summary:

Frank Madla Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 398 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the South San Antonio Independent School District, which is ranked 906 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frank Madla Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its predominantly Hispanic and low-income student population. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and STAAR test scores that are significantly lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. This is in stark contrast to the nearby schools, such as Five Palms Elementary and Neil Armstrong Elementary, which generally perform better academically and have more diverse student populations.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Frank Madla Elementary, ranging from 94.47% to 95.28% over the past three school years, indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Despite the high per-student spending at Frank Madla Elementary, ranging from $9,316 to $10,866 over the past three school years, these resources are not translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting a need to re-evaluate the school's instructional strategies and other factors that may be hindering student success.

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.
