Summary

Villarreal Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 634 students. It is part of the Northside Independent School District, which is ranked 503 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Villarreal Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. The school's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in STAAR Mathematics and STAAR Science. Villarreal Elementary also struggles with its Spanish-language STAAR assessments, with proficiency rates often lower than the district and state. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for its students.

When comparing Villarreal Elementary to nearby schools, Esparza Elementary and Powell Elementary, which are also part of the Northside Independent School District, perform slightly better than Villarreal Elementary on STAAR assessments, but still struggle to meet state and district averages. The charter schools in the area, such as Bexar County Academy, Huppertz Elementary, and Woodlawn Hills Elementary, generally have lower academic performance than Villarreal Elementary. However, Idea Ingram Hills Academy, a charter school within a mile of Villarreal Elementary, stands out as the highest-performing school in the immediate vicinity, with STAAR scores that often exceed the district and state averages.
