Summary

Lewis Elementary is a suburban public school in San Antonio, TX (78251) serving 437 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Northside Independent School District (Isd). The school has seen a notable rebound in recent years, jumping from the 38th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 56th percentile in 2025-2026, the largest single-year improvement among nearby district schools. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1 and per-pupil spending of $10,526, Lewis invests more resources per student than many of its neighbors, though this has not yet translated into top-tier overall outcomes.

A key strength is the school's exceptional performance in 3rd grade, where 64.71% of students were proficient in Reading and 50% in Math in 2025-2026, significantly outpacing both district and state averages. However, this is followed by a sharp decline in 4th grade, particularly in Math, where only 33.8% of students were proficient compared to 45.28% in the district and 49.28% statewide. This pattern is less pronounced at nearby Forester Elementary (66th percentile), which consistently outperforms Lewis in Math across all grade levels and could serve as a model for improvement. The school also shows strong support for its African American students, who ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide in 2025-2026.

While Lewis outperforms several nearby schools like Evers Elementary, Hatchett Elementary, and Cody Elementary in 3rd grade academics, it lags behind in upper-grade math. The school's Science scores are also low (21.54% in 2024-2025), though nearby Mora Elementary demonstrates that Spanish-language testing can yield exceptional results, suggesting an opportunity for Lewis to expand its bilingual programs. Overall, Lewis is a school on an upward trajectory with clear strengths in early literacy and targeted student support, but with room for growth in upper-grade math and science instruction.
