Summary

J T Brackenridge Elementary is a PK-5 public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 597 students as part of the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd). The school serves a community with exceptionally high economic need, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and has historically performed in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, currently ranking at the 4th percentile statewide.

Academically, J T Brackenridge faces significant challenges across all subjects, with a particularly urgent need in 5th-grade Science, where only 2.86% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—far below the district average of 12.85% and the state average of 29.57%. This is the lowest science proficiency rate among nearby schools, such as Bonham Academy (31.58%) and Briscoe Elementary (17.02%). However, there is a bright spot in 4th-grade Math, where proficiency has steadily increased from 19% in 2022-2023 to 35.21% in 2025-2026, suggesting a successful intervention at that grade level. The school also has a history of serving African American students exceptionally well, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide in 2018-2019, though recent data is limited.

Compared to nearby schools, J T Brackenridge's performance is heavily influenced by its high poverty rate. For example, Bonham Academy, just 1.49 miles away, has a much lower poverty rate (64.66%) and significantly outperforms Brackenridge in nearly every subject, such as 5th-grade Reading (47.83% vs. 36%). The school's bilingual/ESL program also shows mixed results, with inconsistent Spanish-language STAAR scores compared to schools like Margil Elementary and De Zavala Elementary. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program has seen a sharp decline, dropping from the 92nd percentile in 2017-2018 to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026, which may warrant further investigation into support for advanced learners.
