Summary

Knowlton Elementary is a PK-5 public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 564 students within the Northside Independent School District (Isd) and located in a densely populated area with several other elementary schools nearby.

Knowlton Elementary has experienced a significant and sustained decline in academic performance over the past several years, dropping from the 59th percentile statewide in 2019 to the 25th percentile in 2026. This makes it the lowest-performing school in its immediate vicinity, with test scores often 10-20 percentage points below district averages. For example, in 5th-grade Mathematics, only 22% of Knowlton students were proficient, compared to 76% at nearby Burke Elementary and 68% at Timberwilde Elementary. This underperformance is especially stark when compared to the charter school Idea Hidden Meadow Academy, located just 0.22 miles away, which serves a similar high-poverty population but achieved 73% proficiency in 5th-grade Reading versus Knowlton's 45%. Despite a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11:1, the school's struggles appear to be systemic, with a critical weakness in Special Education (ranking in the 1st percentile statewide in 2025-2026) and a collapse in support for "At Risk" students.

However, there are notable bright spots. Knowlton's Spanish-language Mathematics scores are often higher than its English-language Math scores and sometimes outperform the district, suggesting that bilingual instruction in Math may be a relative strength. Additionally, the school has a history of exceptional success with its African American student population, which ranked in the 96th percentile statewide in 2022-2023. These areas of strength offer potential blueprints for improvement, but the school's leadership must urgently investigate the root causes of its overall decline, particularly in English Math and Special Education services.
