Summary

Brauchle Elementary is a mid-sized school in San Antonio, TX, serving 396 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Northside Independent School District (Isd), with a student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1 and about two-thirds of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Brauchle stands out for its strong and consistent upward trend in state rankings over the last three years, recovering from a pandemic-era low to reach the 52nd percentile in the 2025-2026 school year. This is a notable contrast to nearby schools like Ward Elementary, which dropped from the 60th to the 34th percentile, and Fernandez Elementary, which fell from the 56th to the 23rd percentile. The school excels in supporting Special Education students, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide for this subgroup, and its 5th-grade math scores are a bright spot, with 54.24% of students proficient—significantly outpacing the district (44.98%) and state (47.38%) averages, and outperforming nearby schools like Nichols Elementary (38.6%) and Northwest Crossing Elementary (39.68%).

While Brauchle is not a top-tier school like Fields Elementary (80th percentile) or Braun Station Elementary (73rd percentile), its performance is strong given its community context, and its upward trajectory suggests potential for further growth. However, the school faces challenges: 5th-grade Science scores are a consistent weak point (20.34% proficient, below the state average of 29.57%), and there is a growing gap between male and female student performance, with male students dropping to a 2-star rating. The school’s per-student spending ($10,210) is higher than the district average, indicating that recent investments may be paying off, but targeted efforts in Science and for male students could help Brauchle continue its climb.
