Summary:
The Alamo Heights Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single high school, Alamo Heights High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 in San Antonio, Texas, and is part of a top-tier district ranked in the 94th percentile statewide.
Alamo Heights High School stands out for its consistent high performance, earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and ranking in the 86th percentile among all Texas high schools. With 1,569 students, the school boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1, a high graduation rate of 94.8%, and a very low dropout rate of 0.8%. Academically, the school significantly outperforms state averages in most subjects, with proficiency rates in Biology (85.47%), English I Reading (73.3%), English II Reading (79.1%), and U.S. History (86.78%) far exceeding state benchmarks. However, a notable anomaly is Algebra I, where only 52.82% of students met proficiency—a sharp drop from the district's 71.46% average, though this represents a positive increase from the previous year's low of 23.71%. This suggests that while the school excels in humanities and sciences, 9th-grade math remains a key area for improvement.
The district's overall ranking (94th percentile) is higher than the school's individual ranking (86th percentile), indicating that the district's elementary and middle schools may be performing exceptionally well. The school serves a predominantly affluent community, with only 15.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, which provides important context for its high academic outcomes. Per-student spending is $10,102, reflecting strong resource allocation. For parents, Alamo Heights High School offers a stable, supportive environment with excellent outcomes in most subjects, though families should be aware of the Algebra I challenge and the broader district's exceptional performance.
