Summary

Stafford Elementary Visual And Performing Arts is a K-4 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 503 students within the Edgewood Independent School District (Isd), where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Stafford Elementary has a notably high student-to-teacher ratio of 19.1:1, which is the largest among nearby schools like Las Palmas Leadership School For Girls (13.7:1) and H B Gonzalez Elementary (14.9:1). The school's statewide rank has declined from the 13th percentile to the 8th percentile, a sharper drop than most Edgewood ISD peers. For example, L B Johnson Elementary improved from the 7th to the 16th percentile during the same period. A significant concern is the dramatic 17.5-percentage-point decline in 3rd-grade English reading proficiency, which fell from 40.66% to 23.08% in one year. Additionally, Spanish-language math scores are very low, with only 11.11% of 3rd graders proficient, compared to 60% at the nearby Roosevelt Dual Language Academy.

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. Stafford's 4th-grade English reading proficiency of 39.77% is above the district average of 34.57% and higher than several nearby schools, including Las Palmas Leadership School For Girls (35.9%) and Roosevelt Elementary (17.02%). The school also offers a Spanish-language track where 4th-grade Spanish reading (33.33%) is competitive with the state average. Nearby charter schools show mixed results: KIPP Un Mundo Pri has shown strong improvement, while Idea Monterrey Park Academy experienced a dramatic decline, highlighting that school choice is not a guaranteed solution in this challenging educational landscape.
