Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy

The Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy is a single public charter school in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades K-8 with 486 students and operating as its own independent school district, which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide.

Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy consistently outperforms state averages across nearly every subject and grade level, earning a 4-star overall ranking (86th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. The school’s greatest strength is its reading program, where every grade from K-8 scored above 69% proficiency, with 7th and 8th graders exceeding 85%. In advanced subjects, the school is elite: Algebra I students achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate for two consecutive years, nearly double the state average, and 8th grade Social Studies scores (84.31% in 2024-2025) were more than double the state average. The school also boasts a 0% dropout rate and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1, allowing for individualized attention.

A critical concern is a sharp drop in 7th grade math proficiency to just 23.08% in 2025-2026, which falls below the state average and contrasts with strong 6th and 8th grade math scores. This suggests a potential curriculum gap or cohort-specific issue that needs investigation. Math scores also show significant year-over-year volatility, unlike the stable reading results. With only 12.76% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, the school serves a relatively affluent population, and its low per-student spending of $6,752 highlights efficient resource management. Overall, the school delivers exceptional academic results, particularly in reading and advanced courses, but the math program requires targeted attention to ensure consistent performance across all grades.
