Children at Risk rankings
Children at Risk, an advocacy and non-profit research organization, has recently ranked San Antonio's high school and district schools. The three-year-old test scores were used to determine the results of the study. There were four San Antonio schools on the list: Agnes Cotton Academy Young Women's Leadership Academy Mission Academy and Texoma High School. These findings indicate that all four schools are making improvements.
Children at Ris are a group that ranked San Antonio schools according to how well they support students with low incomes. It cited several factors that helped determine the results, including percentages of economically disadvantaged students and race/ethnicity.

FAQ
How much does a teacher make in early-childhood education? (earning potential)
A teacher in early childhood earns an average salary of $45,000 per annum.
However, there are some areas where salaries are generally higher than average. For example, teachers in large urban school districts typically receive more pay than those in rural schools.
Salaries are also affected by factors like the size of the district and whether or not a teacher holds a master's degree or doctorate.
Teachers are often paid less than other college graduates, simply because they have little experience. Teachers can see a dramatic increase in their income over time.
How do I select my major?
Students choose their majors depending on their interests. Students may choose to major in the subject they are most passionate about because it is easier than learning something else. Some students want to go into a field where there is no job. Others decide to major because they want to earn money while studying. No matter what your motivations, it is important to consider the job that you may be interested in after graduation.
There are many ways to get information about different fields of study. Talk to your family and friends about their experiences. Look through newspapers and magazines to find out what careers are available. Talk with a guidance counselor at your high school to ask about possible careers. Visit Career Services at the local library or community centre. Check out books on various topics from your public library. Search the Internet for specific career-related websites.
Should I specialize in one subject or branch out?
Many students choose to specialize in one subject (e.g., English, History, Math) instead of branching into multiple subjects. However, it's not always necessary to specialize. For instance, if your goal is to become a doctor you can choose to focus in either surgery or inner medicine. You can also become a general practice physician, with a focus in family medicine, neurology, psychiatry or gerontology. You could focus on sales, marketing, finance, research, and management if you are interested in a career in business. The choice is yours.
