Virginia Allred Stacey Jr/sr H S, San Antonio TX

Original Research by School Decision on Virginia Allred Stacey Jr/sr H S

Virginia Allred Stacey Jr/Sr High School is a combined sixth-through-twelfth-grade school serving a small, stable enrollment within Lackland ISD. The district is coterminous with Lackland Air Force Base on Joint Base San Antonio and operates on federal Impact Aid funding rather than property taxes, which shapes its financial structure and insulates it from local tax fluctuations.

The school's academic profile shows strength in English language arts and mixed performance in mathematics. English learners across the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades show consistent proficiency at a solid level. Mathematics proficiency is lower, particularly in sixth grade, though it improves modestly in seventh and eighth grades. Science proficiency in eighth grade reaches a respectable level, while social studies lags noticeably. The school reports that most students reached at least the "approaches" level across tested subjects, indicating broad engagement with material, though a lower proportion achieved the "meets" standard in mathematics relative to English. Reading and writing competency appears to be a relative strength.

The enrollment is small, with a balanced mix of sixth through twelfth graders. The student body is diverse: white students make up a plurality, with substantial representation from Hispanic, biracial, and Black students. A small share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting relatively modest economic hardship overall among the school's population. Enrollment data on students with individualized education programs and English learners were not available, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about the availability of special education services and language support if those matter to their family.

Among Bexar County districts, this school's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile, a meaningful distinction. The school sits within the San Antonio metropolitan area, one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, though Lackland itself maintains a stable, military-affiliated identity and is not experiencing the broader suburban expansion that characterizes much of the region.

The school building is located on the military base, which shapes access and the community context. A parent considering enrollment should confirm transportation arrangements and base access requirements with the school directly. State testing data for high school grades was not available in the data provided, so the academic profile above reflects only sixth through eighth grade results.

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
