Bexar County Academy

Public, Charter Grades PK, KG-8
Summary

Bexar County Academy is a small public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in San Antonio, Texas, with just 198 students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, and the school district it belongs to is ranked 949 out of 961 districts in the state.

Bexar County Academy's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 12.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 52.02%. The school's math proficiency rates are also very low, ranging from 8.33% to 25% across the grades. Additionally, Bexar County Academy has had high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 2.5% to 4.4%, much higher than the state average. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with special needs, who rank in the bottom 5-10% of their respective subgroups statewide.

Interestingly, the nearby public schools, such as Madison Elementary, Maverick Elementary, and Loma Park Elementary, generally perform better than Bexar County Academy on STAAR tests, despite also serving high-poverty student populations. Additionally, the nearby public charter school, Valor San Antonio, outperforms Bexar County Academy across all grade levels and subjects, suggesting the charter school model may be more effective in this context. Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,124 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby public schools, Bexar County Academy's academic outcomes are much worse, indicating the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning.
