SOUTHWEST ACADEMY

SOUTHWEST ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the SOUTHWEST ISD school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 126 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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 10 teachers, SOUTHWEST ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

SOUTHWEST ACADEMY, located at 11914 Dragon Lane in San Antonio, Texas, operates as a specialized educational institution within the Southwest Independent School District (SWISD). As an alternative campus, the school is designed to support students who may require a non-traditional learning environment.

The school emphasizes a structured yet flexible approach to education, aiming to foster both academic achievement and personal responsibility. By offering a curriculum tailored to the specific pace and needs of its student body, SOUTHWEST ACADEMY provides a vital pathway for those seeking to remain on track for their high school diploma.
