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.

Open Quote Idea Alamo is EXCELLENT! My granddaughter is in kindergarten in Mrs. Maria Perez's class. Even though my granddaughter is only 5 years old, I can see how much she enjoys her classes, her teachers, and most of all how proud she is to let everyone know that she goes to Idea Alamo. We have personally met a lot of students and parents from other Idea Schools when we are shopping or running errands. My granddaughter spots the students with excitement by their uniforms and wants to find out if which Idea School they attend, hoping they attend hers. I have great respect and admiration for the teachers and staff. Everyone is very helpful toward each other as well as anyone else that needs help. I'm amazed on how the students are very well behaved and disciplined. The Principal, Mrs. Anna Garza and Asst. Principal, Mrs. Kathy Arce do everything possible for the betterment of all the students and the school itself. God Bless everyone at Idea Alamo. And yes, I have witness everything because I have been a volunteer at Idea Alamo a few times. I must say "I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!". Close Quote

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.
