Summary:
The San Antonio Preparatory Schools district contains a single middle school, San Antonio Preparatory, which serves grades 5-11 with a total enrollment of 156 students. The student body is predominantly African American (63.46%) and Hispanic (28.21%), with a high percentage (48.72%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income population.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,942, San Antonio Preparatory has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools over the past three years, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR tests in both reading and mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 23.08% (5th grade) to 52.63% (8th grade), compared to the state averages of 53.96% to 54.09%. The school's STAAR Mathematics proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 0% (8th grade) to 23.08% (5th grade), compared to the state averages of 31.89% to 48.96%.
Despite these academic challenges, San Antonio Preparatory has a 0.0% dropout rate, suggesting that students are remaining enrolled and engaged. This could provide a foundation for implementing targeted interventions and support systems to help improve student learning and achievement within the San Antonio Preparatory Schools district.
