Summary:

Sharon Christa McAuliffe Middle is a public middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 677 students in grades 6-8. 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 from SchoolDigger.

Despite its relatively small student-teacher ratio, Sharon Christa McAuliffe Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on STAAR assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for its Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner student subgroups. Additionally, the school has relatively high dropout rates compared to the state average. When compared to other nearby middle schools, such as Judith A. Resnik Middle, Sharon Christa McAuliffe Middle generally performs worse on academic measures.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Sharon Christa McAuliffe Middle, which stands at 91.73%, likely contributes to the school's low academic performance. While this presents significant challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support to students. Additionally, the school's diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic and English Language Learner students, may present opportunities to develop targeted instructional strategies and programs to better serve these populations and drive improvement.

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.
