Summary:
The 78229 zip code area in San Antonio, Texas is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 3 alternative schools, all part of the Northside Independent School District (ISD). While the district is ranked 496 out of 968 in Texas, the standout school in this area is Health Careers High School, which consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state and receives a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Health Careers High School boasts exceptional student performance, with over 95% of students proficient or better in several STAAR EOC exams, a 99.5% 4-year graduation rate, and a low 0.1% dropout rate. In contrast, the elementary schools in the data set, Mead Elementary and Glenoaks Elementary, have significantly lower performance on STAAR tests, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. These schools also serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 90%.
The alternative schools, Reddix Center and Holmgreen Center, have significantly higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, but their graduation rates and test scores are much lower than the other schools in the data set. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the resources and support provided at these alternative schools.
