Floresville Alter Center

Summary:

Floresville Alter Center is a small public high school in Floresville, Texas that serves grades 5-12 and has just 23 students. The school is part of the Floresville Independent School District, which is ranked 746 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio, Floresville Alter Center consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, scoring significantly lower than the district and state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 8th grade reading, the school scored only 16.67% proficient or better, compared to 58.57% for the district and 54.09% for the state. The school's student subgroups, including male students, Hispanic students, low-income students, and at-risk students, all rank in the bottom 10% as well. However, the school has maintained a 0% dropout rate over the past 5 years, which is a positive metric.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Floresville High School, Bexar County Learning Center, and Southside High School, Floresville Alter Center consistently underperforms on academic measures. Despite the school's low performance, it spends significantly more per student than the district and state averages, raising questions about the efficient use of resources. Overall, Floresville Alter Center appears to be a struggling school that is not meeting the needs of its predominantly Hispanic and low-income student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
