Sky Harbour Elementary

Summary:

Sky Harbour Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 475 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Southwest Independent School District, which is ranked 669 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Sky Harbour Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly Hispanic (95.58%) and economically disadvantaged student population. The school's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages, with 3rd grade reading proficiency at just 35.29% compared to 40.76% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Sky Harbour Elementary has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, which is lower than the surrounding schools like Indian Creek Elementary and Sun Valley Elementary, which have a mix of 2-3 star ratings.

While Sky Harbour Elementary struggles with overall academic performance, it does show some relative strengths, such as its ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools for English Language Learners and Low Socioeconomic Status students. However, the school is in the bottom 15% for Gifted and Talented students. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (91.16% to 96.44%), the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($12,302 in 2020-2021), suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of funding, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning.

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.
