Summary

Cooper Academy At Navarro is a small high school in San Antonio, TX, serving 318 students in the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), where over 91% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school has faced significant challenges, with a graduation rate of 62.7% (2024) that is dramatically lower than nearby schools like Burbank High School (92.9%) and Brackenridge High School (91.5%), and it consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of Texas high schools. Academic performance is particularly low in core subjects, with only 4.88% of students proficient in Algebra I (2025-2026), compared to 62.18% at Brackenridge, just 1.35 miles away.

Despite these struggles, Cooper Academy shows a unique strength in serving Special Education and English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide for Special Education and the 38th percentile for ELL—a stark contrast to its overall 11th percentile rank. This suggests effective interventions for these groups, which could be a model for other schools. The school also shows signs of improvement, with the graduation rate nearly doubling from 34.8% in 2021 to 62.7% in 2024, and the dropout rate falling from 20.7% to 3.9% over the same period, though it remains nearly double the district average.

An interesting anomaly is the Biology proficiency rate of 48% (2025-2026), which is far higher than other subjects like Algebra I and English I (17.14%), possibly due to a strong teacher or targeted curriculum. Nearby magnet schools like Cast Technical High School (99.1% graduation rate) and Fox Technical High School serve similar demographics but achieve dramatically different results, highlighting that Cooper Academy's challenges are tied to its specific model rather than the neighborhood alone. For parents, this school offers potential for students needing specialized support, but core academic and retention issues remain critical concerns.

Open Quote This school is not a traditional high school. All curriculum is delivered online and students must be responsible for progress on their own pace. Not all students are a good fit for this school. This school is a safe environment and should not be judged simply based on published numbers. Your student will get from this school what they put into the school. Even though the curriculum is delivered online, there are teachers in all subject areas for remediation if necessary. Students can catch up on missing credits or accelerate graduation. Close Quote
