Summary

Frank M Tejeda Academy is a small alternative high school in San Antonio, TX, serving 144 students in grades 9-12 within the Harlandale Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the 16th percentile statewide and serves a highly economically disadvantaged community.

This school faces significant challenges, with academic performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams in the single digits—far below district averages. For example, Algebra I proficiency is 7.4% compared to the district's 38.1%, and English I Reading proficiency is 0% versus the district's 36.9%. The school also has a high dropout rate of 7.5%, compared to the district's 1.5%, though its graduation rate has improved to 80% in recent years. Despite a low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.3:1 and high per-student spending of $15,265, these investments have not yet translated into academic success, suggesting the student body has profound needs. Interestingly, the school shows a relative strength with migrant students, earning its only star rating for this subgroup.

For context, nearby schools paint a stark contrast. The Harlandale Independent School District (Isd) Stem Echs-Alamo Colleges At Pac, just 1.55 miles away, is a high-performing magnet school with a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. Even more telling, sharing the same address is Hac Daep High School, a disciplinary alternative program with only 35 students and per-student spending of $230,607. This proximity highlights how Tejeda Academy serves as a "last chance" option for students who have struggled in traditional settings, focusing on credit recovery and basic graduation rather than college preparation.
