Summary:
The 78247 zip code area in San Antonio, Texas is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the North East Independent School District (NEISD). The data reveals significant variations in performance, demographics, and resource allocation among these schools, with a few standout institutions leading the way.
Great Hearts Northern Oaks, an alternative school, stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 98% and the lowest dropout rate at 0.1%. It also significantly outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR test scores, especially in reading and English. In contrast, Harris Middle and Driscoll Middle have the lowest STAAR scores among the schools. Redland Oaks Elementary and Longs Creek Elementary also stand out, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
The data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student demographics, may play a crucial role in driving student success. For example, Redland Oaks Elementary, which has the highest spending per student at $16,313, does not necessarily outperform Great Hearts Northern Oaks and Longs Creek Elementary, which have lower spending per student. Additionally, schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower STAAR test scores, but there are exceptions, such as Redland Oaks Elementary.
