Summary

Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio, TX, is a highly-regarded public school serving 1,569 students in grades 9-12 within the Alamo Heights Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 94th percentile statewide. The school has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, with a state ranking that has remained stable between the 81st and 87th percentile, reflecting sustained high performance. With only 15.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school benefits from strong community support and family resources, which contributes to its academic success.

Alamo Heights stands out for its excellent performance in core subjects, significantly exceeding state averages in Biology (85.5% proficient), English I (73.3%), English II (79.1%), and U.S. History (86.8%). This level of achievement is on par with top-performing schools like Robert G Cole Middle/High School, though Cole outperforms Alamo Heights in nearly every metric, including a remarkable 84.2% proficiency in Algebra I compared to Alamo Heights' 52.8%. This Algebra I weakness is a notable anomaly, as the school's district average is much higher at 71.5%, suggesting a potential instructional challenge or broader student enrollment in the course. In contrast, nearby schools like MacArthur High School and Legacy Of Educational Excellence High School face higher poverty rates and lower academic rankings, highlighting Alamo Heights' advantages in resources and community support.

The school maintains a very high graduation rate of 94.8% and a low dropout rate of 0.8%, far superior to neighboring schools like MacArthur (86.3% graduation) and Legacy of Educational Excellence (80.8% graduation). However, Alamo Heights shows a mixed record in serving all student groups, performing exceptionally well for its White and Multi-racial students but struggling with its Low Socio-Economic Status and Special Education students, indicating an achievement gap. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 and moderate per-student spending of $10,102, the school provides a supportive environment, though it lags behind the highly structured Robert G Cole Middle/High School, which benefits from significantly higher per-pupil spending ($18,443) and a unique military-base population.

This used to a great school district, on par with Highland Park in Dallas, but now the District is becoming more Latino and the scores are going down, the District is at the tipping point, hopefully more of the bad apartments in the District get razed and the Demographics shift or else they better add a few new wings to St Mary’s Hall and stop passing bonds to improve schools in AHISD. It’s a shame, but someone should have drawn the lines to just include Olmos Park AH, and Terrell Hills, not that awful area up near Wal Mart and all those cheap apartments. Ruining a once great district. I’d still send my kids, but it’s at the tipping point, they better figure something out to boost the Anglo numbers or its curtains Close Quote

I graduated Alamo Heights in 1966. This education alone is college level today. Our school had no technology(electronics) in those days. You had to use your head and THINK, which is not going around much these days. READ, erudition is free!!! Use it to your advantage, be kind to your fellow man, who did not get such a well founded basis of Knowledge. Study, learn,and apply yourself. Shalom.... Chuck Donahue Class of 1966 Close Quote
