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 We are so fortunate to attend Sanger. This is a top-notch school, with the most dedicated teachers and staff possible. I have seen my son grow in such a positive way through his experience at Sanger, beginning in Kindergarten. Now in 6th grade, we are still so impressed with the Sanger Difference. I highly recommend Sanger! Close Quote

Open Quote We have both our kids at Alex Sanger Prep. Our daughter is in prek but next year will enter the dual language program like her brother, who is in 2nd grade and has been in since kinder. We love our neighborhood school and are proud to send our children here! Close Quote

Open Quote Sanger is our neighborhood public school, and boy are we lucky! Our son is in 2nd grade at Alex Sanger, so this is our 3rd year at Sanger. We could not be happier. As a former teacher myself, I have been impressed with the school’s culture and the best practices that are being implemented in the classroom. The administration is very involved and communicative. The teachers care. Sanger’s dual language program is one of the best in the district, if not the state. We are amazed at how much Spanish our son is learning! He loves school and is excited to go each morning. We are so happy with our little neighborhood school, and look forward to many more years here. Close Quote

Open Quote If you want your child to be bilingual this is the school for you. My daughter has only had a semester and she is already speaking conversational Spanish. It's amazing how little kids can transfer language skills. At school reading and writing practice is in Spanish but at home she has started writing letters to her grandparents in English (and we did not teach her to write). Of course she tries to spell things phonetically which doesn't work out as well in English as it does in Spanish but we are still impressed with what her wizard of a teacher has accomplished. The entire school is energized by a very supportive PTA and an excellent principal. There are many extracurricular activities including a few sports for the older kids, a Suzuki violin program and clubs. Communication is clearly a priority of the administration. We regularly get notes home from both teachers and administrators updating us on what is going on as well as recorded messages announcing events and texted reminders about things like returning library books or "wear your college t-shirt day." I've also received several personal texts from my daughters teacher as well as a personal phone call. Close Quote

Open Quote I just enrolled my child for the first time. The office staff was very rude and it seems like this is a school for spanish speaking only. I'm very anxious about my child's education for this year. Close Quote

Open Quote My children just completed their third year at Sanger, and it was great! The dual language program is wonderful. The PTA is strong and active. The teachers and principles really care. The learning garden is beautiful. The sports teams are winners. We really love our school, and can't wait for the next school year! Close Quote

Open Quote We love Sanger Elementary. Our daughter has been there two years and I am impressed by all the things she is learning. Mr. Martinez is our new principal and has been welcoming to parents and volunteers and making changes for the better. There is so much there to be proud of. As our parent involvement grows I know our test scores will also come up. Close Quote

Open Quote The principal (Dr. Arthur Allen) is very rude to parents and staff. Teachers live in constant fear that the principal will visit their classroom and disrupt the class with very negative comments about the students or teachers. They are forced to teach only the subjects and material that will be tested in the TAKS, providing a very limited and insuficient education to our kids 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.
