Summary

Alonso S Perales Elementary is a PK-5 campus in San Antonio, TX, serving 469 students within the Edgewood Independent School District (Isd), a high-poverty area where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Perales Elementary shows a unique "Reading Strong, Math Weak" profile that sets it apart from nearby schools. In the most recent data, the school's Reading proficiency rates (ranging from 28% to 44% across grades 3-5) significantly outperform the Edgewood ISD averages, making it a relative bright spot in literacy. However, Math scores are much weaker, often falling below the district average. This volatility is a key characteristic: after hitting a low point in 2019 (2nd percentile statewide), the school climbed to the 25th percentile in 2024, only to drop back to the 10th percentile in 2025-2026. This pattern of ups and downs differentiates it from consistently low-performing neighbors like Carvajal Elementary and Sarah S King Elementary, which remain in the bottom 5th percentile. Interestingly, Perales has a standout Gifted and Talented program that ranked in the 54th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, earning 3 stars—a stark contrast to its overall performance.

The school's recent struggles are most visible in its most vulnerable populations. Special Education students plummeted from the 34th percentile to the 1st percentile, and Low Socio-Economic Status students fell from the 26th to the 14th percentile. Science scores are also declining, dropping from 22% proficiency in 2022-2023 to just 15% in 2024-2025. While Perales is a top performer within Edgewood ISD, it is outperformed by schools just a mile away in San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), such as Kelly Academy At Lowell (19th percentile) and Rodriguez Montessori Elementary (15th percentile). For context, Las Palmas Leadership School For Girls, also in Edgewood ISD, takes a different approach with a specialized math program that achieves an 85.71% Algebra I pass rate—far exceeding Perales' math performance.
