San Antonio Elementary

"The teacher to student ratio is a little misleading. There are 4 teachers for grades K-5 broken down as follows K-1, 1-2, 3-4, and 4-5. Plus a special ed EA and another floating EA. There are 4 other elementary schools I could send my children too but I will not, and quite frankly if this school went through 12th grade I would be ecstatic. The sense of community the teachers provide is all inclusive. You have 5th graders playing with kinders, all the teachers essentially have 73 students because they look out for all the kids, not just those in their specific classrooms. The teachers extend that sense of community to a local wildlife preserve and nursing home with monthly visits. The responsibility for test scores is placed solely on the shoulders of our children's teachers, when in reality, they only are responsible for 33.33% - IF that much. Parents and students need to step up. So if you have a choice in where you send your child, absolutely look at scores, but also go to the school and look at the teachers, and the students, and get the whole picture not just a peek."
