Summary

Glass Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 384 students as part of the Northside Independent School District (Isd). The school has experienced a steep decline over the past decade, dropping from a 3-star rating (51st percentile) in 2015-2016 to a 0-star rating (6th percentile) in the most recent data, making it one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. Approximately 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and academic proficiency rates in Reading and Math are roughly 20-30 percentage points lower than state averages across all tested grades.

Despite having a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.1:1 and spending $10,945 per student, the school's academic outputs remain among the lowest in the area. A notable comparison is with Idea Ingram Hills Academy, a charter school just 1.5 miles away that serves a similar demographic (86% free/reduced lunch) but ranks in the 61st percentile (3 stars). For example, 5th-grade Reading proficiency at Glass Elementary was 28.81%, while at Idea Ingram Hills it was 74.77%, showing that high poverty does not have to dictate low performance.

There are a few bright spots worth noting. The Special Education subgroup ranked in the 33rd percentile statewide, earning 2 stars, which is significantly higher than the school's overall rank. Additionally, a one-year spike in 3rd-grade Math proficiency (40.43% in 2024-2025) suggests that targeted interventions can work, though they have not been sustained or replicated. The school's challenges are deeply systemic, but the success of nearby schools like Powell Elementary (which has remained in the 24th-37th percentile range) and Idea Ingram Hills provides potential models for improvement.
