Muriel Forbes Elementary

Public Grades

Summary

Muriel Forbes Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 159 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 811 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Muriel Forbes Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25% of 5th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Science, compared to the state average of 26.29%. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools in the San Antonio ISD, such as Highland Park Elementary, Charles C Ball Elementary, and Highland Hills Elementary, Muriel Forbes Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower proficiency rates on STAAR tests and lower school rankings. However, these nearby schools also serve predominantly Hispanic student populations with high percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, similar to Muriel Forbes Elementary, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school may be indicative of broader issues in the community.
