Summary

Mh Specht Elementary is a PK-5 public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 718 students as part of the highly-ranked Comal Independent School District (Isd). This school has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years, placing it in the 87th percentile statewide, and it offers a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14.5:1, which supports individualized attention.

Mh Specht stands out for its exceptional performance in 4th Grade Mathematics, where 72.22% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—a full 10 points above the district average and 23 points above the state average. This is a notable strength compared to nearby 5-star schools like Indian Springs Elementary, which scored only 55.19% in the same subject. The school also excels in Science, with 5th graders scoring 51.13% proficient, which is 21.5 points above the state average. However, math performance can be volatile by grade level; for instance, 5th grade math has shown a "yo-yo" effect, dropping from 75% in 2023-2024 to 53.38% in 2024-2025 before recovering to 65.93% in 2025-2026. This pattern is not seen in reading scores, which remain more stable.

While Mh Specht is a strong school, it operates in a competitive neighborhood of academic superstars within Comal ISD, where peers like Timberwood Park Elementary (96th percentile) and Kinder Ranch Elementary (89th percentile) rank higher. The school demonstrates a remarkable ability to serve its African American student population, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for this subgroup. A key area of concern is the declining performance of English Language Learners, whose ranking dropped from the 93rd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 57th percentile in 2024-2025. Overall, Mh Specht is a reliable, high-quality school that provides a strong foundation, particularly in math and science, within a top-tier district.
