Summary

Sarah S King Elementary is a PK-5 school in the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd) serving 645 students in a high-poverty area, where over 98% qualify for free or reduced lunch. Despite spending over $12,700 per student, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-3% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, placing it in the 1st percentile statewide in 2025-2026—the lowest among nearby schools like David Barkley/Francisco Ruiz Elementary (9th percentile) and De Zavala Elementary (7th percentile).

A standout finding is the school's unique strength in Spanish-language mathematics: 4th graders taking the STAAR Spanish Math test achieved a 57.14% proficiency rate in 2025-2026, dramatically higher than the school's own English Math score (24.36%) and well above the district (41.21%) and state (29.41%) averages for the Spanish test. This suggests the bilingual program may be highly effective for math instruction, though this success doesn't carry over to English-language reading or math. Meanwhile, 3rd-grade English reading proficiency (12.07%) was less than half that of David Barkley/Francisco Ruiz Elementary (25.53%) and far below the district (34.43%) and state (51.08%).

The school has seen a concerning decline in support for special education students, dropping from the 84th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 13th percentile in 2025-2026. However, there's a glimmer of hope in 5th-grade English reading, where proficiency has hovered near 30% in recent years—the school's strongest subject area. The most sobering comparison is with Carvajal Elementary, located just 0.43 miles away and serving nearly identical demographics, which ranks even lower at the 0th percentile, highlighting concentrated educational challenges in this west-side San Antonio community.
