Summary

George Gervin Academy in San Antonio, TX, is an alternative school serving 793 students from Pre-K through 12th grade, operating as its own single-school district and ranking in the 1st percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its unwavering commitment to keeping students in school, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for every year on record. However, this success in retention does not translate to academic proficiency on state tests, where scores are critically low across most subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 0% of students were proficient in 6th and 7th-grade Math and in Biology and English I End-of-Course exams. This creates a stark paradox: the school excels at ensuring students earn a diploma, but the academic rigor, as measured by state standards, is minimal. A glimmer of hope appears in Spanish-language assessments, where 40% of 5th graders were proficient in Math, suggesting the school may be more effective for its English Language Learners in their native language.

Compared to nearby schools serving similar high-poverty populations, the picture is mixed. Southwest Preparatory Southeast Campus, which also serves a very high-poverty student body (93% free/reduced lunch), outperforms George Gervin Academy in almost every academic subject, yet has a lower graduation rate of 80%. This suggests George Gervin Academy prioritizes persistence over academic rigor, functioning as a "graduation factory" for a highly disadvantaged population where 100% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. While the school's focus on keeping students enrolled is admirable, parents should be aware that the quality of education, as measured by test scores, is critically low compared to other options like Advanced Learning Academy or Harmony School Of Innovation - San Antonio.
