Can you help raise San Antonio’s educational attainment?

Can you help raise San Antonio’s educational attainment?

A local education nonprofit is calling on parents, educators, business leaders, elected officials and community organizations to help raise educational attainment in San Antonio after an analysis of standardized test data showed 46% of students across the city are reading on grade level and just 31% are performing on grade level in math.

The report, which showed that local students inched up one percentage point in reading and down two percentage points in math, is based on the most recent State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test results and is the third such analysis released by City Education Partners.

Dalia Flores Contreras, the nonprofit’s CEO, said in a letter accompanying the release that the overall one percent academic decline across the board when including all subjects calls for a citywide approach and an urgent need for solutions.
