MURIEL FORBES ACADEMY

MURIEL FORBES ACADEMY is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the SAN ANTONIO ISD school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 306 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 7th 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 23 teachers, MURIEL FORBES ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

MURIEL FORBES ACADEMY, located on Sally Gay Drive in San Antonio, Texas, is a specialized educational facility within the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD). It is categorized as a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP), designed to serve students who have been removed from their home campuses due to violations of the district’s Student Code of Conduct. The academy provides a structured environment where students can continue their core academic coursework while focusing on behavioral redirection and the development of social-emotional skills necessary for a successful return to their traditional school settings.

The school operates with a primary emphasis on maintaining academic continuity and fostering student accountability. By providing a smaller, more controlled setting, MURIEL FORBES ACADEMY allows for more individualized attention, enabling teachers to help students stay on track with their graduation requirements despite their disciplinary status. The ultimate goal of the academy is to serve as a transitional bridge, helping students address the issues that led to their placement while preparing them to reintegrate into the general education population with the tools needed to make better behavioral choices in the future.
