Elementary Schools in South San Antonio Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The South San Antonio Independent School District (ISD) operates 8 elementary schools serving students in grades K-5. These schools are located in a high-poverty area of South San Antonio, Texas, with all schools reporting very high free/reduced lunch rates of over 90%. While the district faces significant challenges in academic performance, a few schools stand out as relative standouts.

Price Elementary is the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade STAAR Reading and Math, as well as the highest 5th grade STAAR Science proficiency. Hutchins Elementary also had strong performance in reading and math, with over 45% proficiency in 3rd grade. While not the top schools, Roy Benavidez Elementary had relatively higher proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools performing well below state averages in reading, math, and science. The data indicates consistent low performance, with most schools consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. Equity concerns are also evident, with high-poverty student populations and large performance gaps between the district and state. Targeted interventions and support will likely be necessary to improve academic achievement across the South San Antonio ISD elementary schools.
