Summary

Arnold Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 590 students. The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD), which is ranked 790 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Arnold Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,438 and 4,014 out of around 4,500 schools over the past 8 years. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average. Arnold Elementary's STAAR test scores are significantly lower than the SAISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in science, where only 13.33% of 5th graders are projected to be proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 12.85% for SAISD and 29.57% for Texas.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the SAISD district, such as Maverick Elementary, Franklin Elementary, and Wilson Elementary, generally perform better than Arnold Elementary on STAAR tests, with higher proficiency rates in reading, math, and science. However, these schools also serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, indicating that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to Arnold Elementary's poor performance.
