Elementary Schools in San Antonio Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The San Antonio Independent School District (ISD) contains 59 elementary schools serving grades pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This diverse urban district faces challenges with academic achievement, but also has several standout schools that are outperforming their peers.

The top-performing elementary schools in the district include Mark Twain Dual Language Academy, Agnes Cotton Academy, and Bonham Academy. These charter schools rank among the best in Texas, with strong reading, math, and science scores that significantly outpace the district and state averages. In contrast, many of the traditional public elementary schools struggle, with 30-40% of students scoring proficient in reading and only 22-28% in math, well below state levels.

Across the San Antonio ISD, high poverty rates, with 78-98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the academic challenges. Per-student spending and student-teacher ratios vary widely but do not directly correlate with performance. Addressing these systemic inequities and learning from the successful charter school models will be crucial to improving outcomes for all students in the district.
