Summary

Locke Hill Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 538 students in grades PK-5 within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), where about 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it has recently shown a strong upward trend after a challenging year.

Locke Hill stands out as a relative bright spot among its nearby peers, particularly due to a remarkable one-year turnaround. After dropping to the 34th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, the school rebounded to the 51st percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. This improvement is especially notable when compared to neighboring schools like Thornton Elementary (26th percentile), Howsman Elementary (31st), Boone Elementary (27th), and Colonies North Elementary (11th), all of which are struggling. Locke Hill’s strongest asset is its 4th-grade math program, where 55.13% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—a full 10 points above the district average and significantly higher than nearby schools like Howsman (26.32%) and Boone (25.81%). The school also excels with its White and Gifted & Talented students, who rank in the 72nd and 78th percentiles statewide, respectively.

However, Locke Hill faces challenges that parents should consider. While 4th-grade math is a standout, 5th-grade math proficiency drops to just 36.14%, well below state and district averages, suggesting a potential curriculum gap between grades. Science scores are also low, but this is a systemic issue across the area, with all nearby schools scoring well below the state average. The school struggles significantly with its English Language Learner (ELL) population, who rank in the bottom 6th percentile, and students from low socio-economic backgrounds rank in the 41st percentile. For context, higher-performing nearby schools like Oak Meadow Elementary (85th percentile) and Basis San Antonio Pri- Medical Center Campus (96th percentile) serve less economically disadvantaged populations, making Locke Hill’s recent progress a compelling story of improvement within its demographic context.
