Veterans Memorial High School

Summary:

Veterans Memorial High School is a public high school in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Judson Independent School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 18.5% White, 15.45% African American, 57.47% Hispanic, and 2.54% Asian.

Despite its diverse student body, Veterans Memorial High School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state and district in subjects like Algebra I, English I Reading, and English II Reading. The school's graduation rate has also been declining, dropping from 92.1% in 2019-2020 to 88.7% in 2022-2023, while the dropout rate has increased from 0.8% to 2.7% over the same period. The school's performance has declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 875 out of 1,857 Texas high schools in 2018-2019 to 1,532 out of 1,961 schools in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby high schools, Veterans Memorial High School generally underperforms. For example, Judson Early College Academy, a school within the same district, has consistently ranked in the top 5% of Texas high schools and maintains a 100% graduation rate. Similarly, Randolph High School, located just a few miles away, has significantly higher academic performance and graduation rates than Veterans Memorial. The school's disparities in student group performance, with Asian and Pacific Islander students performing relatively better than African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of its underperforming student populations.

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.
