Gates Elementary

Public Grades

Summary

Gates Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 156 students in grades PK-6 as part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD), which is ranked 811 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gates Elementary faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (73.72%) compared to surrounding schools, lower academic performance on STAAR tests across grade levels and subjects, a relatively low student-teacher ratio, and an extremely high percentage of students (94.41% to 97.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the high per-student spending at Gates Elementary, ranging from $16,144 to $22,140 over the past few years, the school's academic performance has declined, with its statewide ranking dropping from 2,144 out of 4,286 Texas elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 3,438 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 3 stars to 1 star during this time.

While Gates Elementary's performance is generally lower than the surrounding schools, some nearby schools, such as Smith Elementary and Washington Elementary, also struggle academically, with rankings and performance metrics that are comparable to or even lower than Gates Elementary. This suggests that the challenges facing Gates Elementary may be part of a broader trend in the area, potentially related to the high-poverty student population served by these schools.
