Summary

Five Palms Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 470 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the South San Antonio Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 879 out of 961 districts in the state.

Five Palms Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,778 and 4,509 out of around 4,600 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. This trend has persisted for several years, indicating a need for significant improvement in the school's educational programs and support for students. When comparing Five Palms Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, such as Neil Armstrong Elementary and Frank Madla Elementary, the performance gap is evident, with these nearby schools generally outperforming Five Palms Elementary on STAAR tests and having higher rankings from SchoolDigger.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 93.81% to 95.53% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, and the relatively low spending per student at Five Palms Elementary, between $9,960 and $11,421, may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance. Addressing these resource and socioeconomic challenges could be crucial in improving student outcomes at the school.
