STAFFORD CENTER

STAFFORD CENTER is a Title I public prekindergarten school that is part of the EDGEWOOD ISD school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 527 students. Student demographics can be found below. 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 24 teachers, STAFFORD CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. 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 STAFFORD CENTER, located at 611 SW 36th St in San Antonio, functions as an integral component of the Edgewood Independent School District (EISD). Rather than serving as a traditional K-12 campus, the facility operates primarily as a specialized educational hub. It is designed to support the district's alternative learning initiatives, providing structured environments for students who may require non-traditional academic settings, credit recovery programs, or specialized behavioral and disciplinary support to stay on track toward graduation.

By housing these specific programs under one roof, the STAFFORD CENTER enables the Edgewood ISD to offer targeted resources and a more individualized approach to instruction. The center focuses on student retention and academic success by fostering a smaller, more focused community where staff can address the unique challenges of at-risk students. Through its affiliation with the district, the center plays a vital role in ensuring that all students within the EISD boundaries have access to the necessary interventions to complete their education.
