Summary

El Dorado Elementary is a PK-5 public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 517 students within the North East Independent School District (Isd), where over 81% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty environment.

Despite a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.8:1 and spending slightly above the national average per student, El Dorado has experienced a significant and recent academic decline. The school’s overall state ranking dropped sharply from the 37th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 14th percentile in 2025-2026, placing it in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools. This decline is particularly steep compared to nearby schools like Woodstone Elementary, which improved from the 54th to the 60th percentile over the same period. A key weakness is mathematics, where only 24.24% of 4th graders and 28.4% of 3rd graders were proficient on the STAAR exam in 2025-2026—roughly half the rate of the district and state. In contrast, Stahl Elementary, just over two miles away, achieved 62.3% proficiency in 5th-grade math. However, a bright spot exists in 5th-grade reading, where 53.57% of students were proficient, approaching the state average of 58.47%.

Interestingly, El Dorado’s challenges are not due to a lack of resources, as it has a lower student-to-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than some higher-performing peers. Nearby charter schools like Sst Alamo, serving a similar demographic, rank in the 70th percentile with reading proficiency rates nearly double El Dorado’s. Additionally, Northern Hills Elementary, just over a mile away, has improved from the 15th to the 32nd percentile while El Dorado has fallen, suggesting that school-level leadership and instructional practices are critical factors. The school’s Spanish-language program shows erratic performance, with high volatility in proficiency rates, possibly due to small test-taker samples.
