Summary

Pecan Valley Elementary is a PK-5 elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving a student population of 526. Despite being part of the East Central Independent School District, which is ranked 787 out of 961 districts in the state, Pecan Valley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests consistently falling well below the district and state averages, particularly in 4th grade reading and 5th grade science. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with 78.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. Interestingly, nearby schools like Salado Elementary and Highland Forest Elementary, which are also part of the East Central Independent School District, significantly outperform Pecan Valley Elementary on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations.

The school's performance data also highlights the significant challenges faced by certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and special education students, who rank in the bottom 5-10% of their respective subgroups statewide. Addressing the unique needs of these students should be a priority for the school and district. Additionally, the school's declining performance over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from the top 30% in 2011-2012 to the bottom 10% in recent years, is a concerning trend that suggests the school may be struggling to effectively address the academic needs of its students.
