Public Grades

Summary

Foster Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 370. The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD), which is ranked 811 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Foster Elementary and the surrounding schools are all part of the SAISD district, there are significant differences in their academic performance and student demographics. For example, Mission Academy and Schenck Elementary have higher STAAR test scores and better overall rankings compared to Foster Elementary, which consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Foster Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (86.49%) and an extremely high percentage of students (97.57%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The data also suggests that socioeconomic factors may be a significant contributor to the school's academic challenges, as the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is a common trend observed in many high-poverty schools. Additionally, Foster Elementary has had relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 2.0% to 3.8% over the past few years, which are higher than the surrounding schools. While Foster Elementary faces significant challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio (17.4) could be leveraged to provide more individualized attention and support for students, potentially creating opportunities for improvement.
