Summary

Idea Ambrose And Freda Robinson Academy is a K-5 elementary school in San Antonio, TX, serving 423 students as part of the Idea Public Schools charter network, with about 67% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

This school has experienced a significant decline in state rankings over the past three years, dropping from the 48th percentile to the 18th percentile (1-star) in the most recent data. The most concerning area is mathematics, where only 10.71% of 5th graders and 23.76% of 3rd graders were proficient—far below state averages. However, there is a bright spot in 4th grade reading, where 52.94% of students were proficient, nearly matching the state average and outperforming the district. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 21.2:1, which is notably higher than nearby Fisher Elementary (12.5:1) in Northside Independent School District (Isd), a school just 0.45 miles away that ranks in the 57th percentile.

What makes this decline particularly striking is the comparison to Idea Burke Academy, another Idea Public Schools campus only 1.66 miles away, which has remained strong at the 49th percentile. This suggests the challenges at Ambrose are school-specific rather than district-wide. The school's struggles are broad-based, affecting all student subgroups, with the "Low Socio Economic Status Students" subgroup dropping from the 68th percentile to the 15th percentile. A notable anomaly was a strong 5th grade science performance in 2023-2024 (46.15% proficient, nearly double the state average), but this dropped to 25.93% the following year, suggesting it was an outlier rather than a sustainable strength.
