Summary

McDermott Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 738 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Northside Independent School District.

McDermott Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the district and state averages on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32.04% of 3rd graders, 22.86% of 4th graders, and 29.79% of 5th graders achieved proficiency or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the district averages of 50.71%, 49.99%, and 55.42%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in STAAR Mathematics, with only 20.19%, 10.48%, and 15.79% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students, respectively, achieving proficiency or better. The school's diverse student population includes a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic outcomes.

Nearby schools within the Northside Independent School District, such as Thornton Elementary, Rhodes Elementary, and Colonies North Elementary, generally perform better on STAAR assessments than McDermott Elementary, with higher percentages of students achieving proficiency or better. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students compared to McDermott Elementary. While McDermott Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, the academic outcomes suggest that more targeted and effective interventions may be necessary to improve student performance and close the achievement gaps.
