While Schertz Elementary has a relatively strong Gifted and Talented program, ranking 978 out of 3,006 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021, the school's overall performance is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas on STAAR tests.

The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 2,149 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3,382 out of 4,581 in 2021-2022, indicating below-average performance compared to its peers. Additionally, Schertz Elementary struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with Special Education needs.

Compared to nearby schools in the Schertz-Cibolo-U City ISD, such as Rose Garden Elementary, Watts Elementary, and Norma J Paschal Elementary, Schertz Elementary's performance lags behind, with these nearby schools generally having higher student performance on STAAR tests, higher school rankings, and lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
