Summary

Ott Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 589 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Northside Independent School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently lower than the district and state averages, particularly in science, where only 7.32% of 5th-graders were proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 23.11% for the district and 29.57% for the state. Ott Elementary's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a 4-star rating in 2015-2016 to a 2-star rating in 2024-2025.

One of the key factors contributing to Ott Elementary's challenges may be its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 58.4% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, significantly higher than nearby schools like Wernli Elementary (36.43%) and Cole Elementary (33.33%). Additionally, Ott Elementary's per-student spending of $8,961 in 2020-2021 is lower than the nearby schools, such as Lewis Elementary ($10,526) and Langley Elementary ($10,015), and it has a higher student-teacher ratio of 13.3 in 2023-2024.

To address these challenges and improve student outcomes, Ott Elementary and the Northside Independent School District should consider implementing targeted interventions, increasing funding and support, and exploring best practices from higher-performing schools within the district. Addressing the unique needs of Ott Elementary's student population will be crucial in ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all.
