Summary

Glenn Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 427 students as part of the Northside Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a strong upward trend over the last five years, climbing from the 3rd percentile statewide to the 26th percentile in 2025-2026.

The school’s most notable strength is its exceptional bilingual program. Glenn Elementary consistently outperforms both its district and state averages on Spanish-language STAAR assessments, particularly in Math—for example, 63.64% of 4th graders were proficient in Math on the Spanish exam, compared to just 28.13% in the district. This success extends to its English Language Learner students, who ranked in the 67th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating. This is a stark contrast to the school’s overall 1-star rating and suggests effective, targeted instruction for this group. Nearby schools like Lighthouse Elementary (in the Lighthouse Public Schools district) and Adams Hill Elementary do not show this same bilingual strength. Additionally, Glenn has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which is lower than nearby peers like Michael Elementary (13.3) and Hatchett Elementary (12.3), allowing for more individualized attention.

While the bilingual program shines, the school’s general education program still faces challenges, with overall proficiency in Reading and Math below state averages. However, there are bright spots, such as a "5th grade bump" in Reading where students exceeded the state average (59.26% vs. 58.47%). When compared to the nearby charter school Idea Mays Academy (in the Idea Public Schools district), Glenn’s bilingual program is a clear advantage—Idea Mays scored 0% proficient on the same 4th Grade Spanish Math test. For families seeking a strong bilingual education in a school with a clear upward trajectory and small class sizes, Glenn Elementary is a compelling option.
