Beacon Hill Pri

Public Grades PK, KG-2

Summary

Beacon Hill Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) in Texas, with a student population of 357 in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. Despite its higher per-student spending, Beacon Hill Academy has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools.

Beacon Hill Academy's student population is overwhelmingly Hispanic, ranging from 91-95% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance on STAAR standardized tests lags behind the SAISD district and the state of Texas across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Beacon Hill's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 40% compared to 30.88% for SAISD and 48.85% for Texas. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with its English Language Learner and Special Education students ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Texas elementary schools. Additionally, Beacon Hill Academy has had relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 2.4% to 2.9%, above the district and state averages.

When comparing Beacon Hill Academy to other nearby schools in the SAISD district, it consistently underperforms. For example, Agnes Cotton Academy and Mark Twain Dual Language Academy, which are also high-poverty schools, significantly outperform Beacon Hill Academy on academic measures. Despite the high per-student spending, Beacon Hill Academy's student population is overwhelmingly from low-income families, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be enough to drive academic improvement. Over the past 10 years, Beacon Hill Academy has made little progress in improving its academic performance and SchoolDigger ratings, remaining in the bottom quarter of Texas elementary schools, indicating a need for significant intervention and support.
