Summary

Idea Hidden Meadow College Preparatory in San Antonio, TX, is a middle and high school serving 336 students in grades 6 through 10, part of the Idea Public Schools charter network, and has shown strong improvement in its state ranking over the last three years.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of high-need student groups. English Language Learners rank in the 86th percentile statewide, and students from low socio-economic backgrounds rank in the 81st percentile—both earning 4-star ratings. Special Education students also perform well, ranking in the 88th percentile. This is a major differentiator from nearby schools like Zachry Middle, which serves a similar demographic but doesn't match these subgroup rankings. The school also spends significantly more per student ($16,033) compared to nearby Northside Independent School District (Isd) schools, which spend between $7,336 and $10,020. Reading is a consistent strength, with 6th-grade proficiency at 62% (above the state average of 53%) and 7th-grade at 61% (above 54%).

However, the school has a critical weakness in mathematics. Only 27% of 6th graders and 43% of 7th graders were proficient in math, and the Algebra I End-of-Course exam proficiency rate was just 16%, far below the state average of 54%. Nearby schools like Briscoe Middle and Stevenson Middle have Algebra I proficiency rates of 93%, highlighting a significant gap. While the school excels at adding value for students who need extra support, this math challenge must be addressed to fully meet its college preparatory mission. For parents focused on reading and equity, this school is a strong choice, but those prioritizing advanced math may want to explore other options.
