It's important that you consider multiple factors when selecting high schools. These factors include international rankings as well as teacher to student ratios. Notable alumni are also important. Let's take a closer view at some of San Antonio’s top high schools. Which one is right?
Children at Risk rankings
A recent study by nonprofit research and advocacy group Children at Risk ranked San Antonio high schools and districts. Based on the scores of students in the three previous years, the study was done. There were four San Antonio schools on the list: Agnes Cotton Academy Young Women's Leadership Academy Mission Academy and Texoma High School. The research shows that all four schools are improving.
Children at risk rated San Antonio schools based on their support for low-income students. The results were based on a variety of factors, including race/ethnicity and percentages of economically disadvantaged children.
