Better than 8% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Cable Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 392 students as part of the Northside Independent School District (Isd), where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools, currently at the 8th percentile statewide.

Cable Elementary faces significant academic challenges, particularly in early-grade math and science. For example, only 8.57% of 3rd graders were proficient in English-language math in 2025-2026, far below the district average of 40.44%. Science scores have been chronically low, with just 26.67% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, though this is slightly above the district average. However, the school’s bilingual program is a standout success: in 5th-grade math, Spanish-language students achieved a 45.45% proficiency rate, more than double the state average and the highest among nearby schools. This "bilingual advantage" suggests effective instructional strategies that could be applied to English-language classrooms. Despite favorable resources like a low student-to-teacher ratio (10.4:1) and per-student spending of $11,894, these haven’t translated into strong overall outcomes, indicating a need for strategic changes in core instruction.

Compared to nearby schools, Cable Elementary is the lowest-performing in its immediate area, with neighbors like Westwood Terrace Elementary (37th percentile) and Glenn Elementary (26th percentile) performing significantly better. A notable comparison is Idea Mays Academy, a charter school just 1.91 miles away serving a similar demographic, which ranks in the 39th percentile and achieves much higher proficiency rates—64.8% in 5th-grade reading versus Cable’s 41.3%. This shows that high poverty doesn’t have to limit performance, and Cable’s strong bilingual program offers a clear path for improvement by leveraging its proven strategies across all subjects.
