Public Grades

Summary

Athens Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 276. The school is part of the South San Antonio Independent School District, which is ranked 930 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Athens Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools, with 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (96.74%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 90-98% Hispanic students. Additionally, Athens Elementary's performance on STAAR tests is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, and the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 97%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite spending around $13,200 per student, which is higher than the spending at some of the nearby schools like Collier Elementary and Hutchins Elementary, Athens Elementary continues to struggle academically.

The data suggests that Athens Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student achievement. The school's consistent low performance, particularly for subgroups such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, indicates that targeted interventions and additional resources may be necessary to help the school improve. While the nearby schools in the South San Antonio ISD also struggle academically, Athens Elementary consistently performs worse than its peers, even within the same district.
