Summary:
The South San Antonio Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to three high schools: South San Antonio High School, South San Antonio H S - West Campus, and Alternative School. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, as evidenced by the high rates of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility across the district.
Among the three high schools, South San Antonio H S - West Campus stands out with a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 9.3, compared to the other schools in the district. However, the Alternative School has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 98.57%, indicating an extremely high-need student population.
Academically, the high schools in the South San Antonio ISD face significant challenges, with all three schools performing well below the state average on STAAR end-of-course exams, and South San Antonio High School having a 4-year graduation rate of 79.7%, which is below the state average. The district as a whole is ranked 879 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that targeted interventions and additional resources may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for these high-need students.
