Summary

Charles Graebner Elementary is a PK-5 public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 651 students within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Despite a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.8, the school is ranked in the 1st percentile statewide (4,590 out of 4,651) for the 2024-2025 school year, placing it among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Texas and earning a 0-star rating for the last five consecutive years.

A key differentiator is the school's performance on the STAAR Spanish Mathematics exam, where 3rd graders scored 52.78% proficient in 2025-2026—nearly double the district average and far exceeding the state average. This is a stark contrast to the English-language math exam, where only 15.25% of 3rd graders were proficient, suggesting a highly effective bilingual math program but a major hurdle in transitioning to English-only instruction. Nearby schools like V M Adams Elementary and Prelude Preparatory Charter School in the Harlandale Independent School District (Isd) and Prelude Preparatory Charter School consistently outperform Graebner despite similar rates of economic disadvantage, indicating challenges tied to specific instructional practices rather than poverty alone.

The school's performance in 5th Grade Science is catastrophic, with 0% of students proficient on the STAAR Science exam in 2024-2025, a consistent trend over three years. Additionally, the school's effectiveness for English Language Learner students has plummeted from the 54th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 6th percentile in 2024-2025, and "At Risk" students rank in the 3rd percentile. While Hillcrest Elementary (43rd percentile) and Briscoe Elementary (11th percentile) serve similar demographics, Graebner's sustained low performance signals an urgent need for a fundamental shift in instructional strategies to support its most vulnerable students.
