Summary

Brackenridge High School is a large, traditional public high school in the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), serving approximately 1,593 students in grades 9-12 in a predominantly low-income area of San Antonio. The school has recently shown a notable upward trend in its state ranking, reaching its highest position in years, driven by a standout performance in Algebra I where 62% of students are now proficient—significantly outperforming both the district average (42%) and the state average (54%). This is a dramatic improvement from just two years ago and sets Brackenridge apart from nearby comprehensive high schools like Burbank High School.

While the school's overall test scores remain modest, it excels in keeping students on track to graduate. Brackenridge boasts a remarkably high and stable graduation rate, consistently above 91% and reaching 94.5% in a recent year, which is significantly higher than the district average of 85.5%. This is a major point of strength, especially when compared to nearby schools like Cooper Academy At Navarro (62.7%) and Healy-Murphy (37.7%). The school also has a very low dropout rate of just 1.4%, well below the district average, indicating a strong school climate that retains students.

An interesting comparison can be made with two nearby magnet schools, Fox Technical High School and Cast Technical High School, which serve a similar demographic but achieve dramatically better academic results, suggesting the potential impact of specialized, career-focused curricula. Brackenridge also shows a fascinating academic profile: it excels in math but struggles significantly in English I Reading, where only 44% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 55%. The school is showing strong and improving support for its English Language Learner students, but its Gifted and Talented students rank surprisingly low, suggesting a need for more advanced coursework to challenge its highest achievers.
