San Antonio Steam Academy

Public, Charter Grades 5-12
Summary

San Antonio Preparatory is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-11 in San Antonio, Texas, with 139 students. Unfortunately, this school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Texas middle schools, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance.

The school struggles across various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 50% of Texas middle schools for female, male, special education, low socioeconomic status, and at-risk students. Its proficiency rates on the STAAR assessments are significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 5-11% proficiency projected in 6th-8th grade math, compared to the state average of 31-44%. Additionally, San Antonio Preparatory has had dropout rates ranging from 0-6.7% over the past 3 years, which are much higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the schools closest to San Antonio Preparatory, such as Judson Middle, Krueger Middle, and Woodlake Hills Middle, generally outperform it on academic metrics, despite also serving high-poverty populations. Additionally, while San Antonio Preparatory spends over $15,900 per student, which is significantly higher than the nearby Judson Independent School District and North East Independent School District averages of around $8,000-$10,000 per student, this high spending has not translated to improved academic outcomes.
