CHILDREN'S SHELTER OF SA

CHILDREN'S SHELTER OF SA is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the SAN ANTONIO ISD school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 34 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 2 teachers, CHILDREN'S SHELTER OF SA has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **Children’s Shelter of San Antonio** is a multifaceted non-profit organization dedicated to providing safety, healing, and support to children and families in crisis. Operating primarily as a trauma-informed care facility, the organization serves children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Their campus provides a secure environment where children receive essential residential care, including medical screenings, therapeutic support, and educational services, all designed to stabilize their lives and promote emotional recovery.

Beyond their residential programs, the organization is deeply committed to family preservation and community support. They offer a wide range of services aimed at preventing child abuse, including foster care and adoption programs, as well as family counseling and parenting education. By focusing on both the immediate needs of children in the foster care system and the long-term goal of building stable, healthy family environments, the Children’s Shelter of San Antonio plays a vital role in protecting vulnerable youth and strengthening the social fabric of the San Antonio community.
