Summary

Sst Hill Country is a public charter elementary school in San Antonio, TX, serving 675 students in grades PK-6 as part of the high-performing School Of Science And Technology Discovery district. The school has a 3-star rating and ranks in the 60th percentile statewide, though this represents a decline from its peak 4-star performance in the 2023-2024 school year. With about 47% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a moderately diverse, middle-income community, but its student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1 is notably higher than nearby schools like Braun Station Elementary (7.6:1) and Fields Elementary (14.1:1).

A key differentiator is the school's unique PK-6 grade configuration, allowing students an extra year in an elementary setting before middle school. Academically, Sst Hill Country shines in 5th-grade science, with 32.94% proficiency compared to the state average of 29.57%, and far outperforms nearby schools like Ward Elementary (17.8%) and Nichols Elementary (17.65%). However, mathematics is a persistent weakness—every grade level (3rd-6th) scored below the state average in math for the 2025-2026 school year, which is concerning for a school with "Science and Technology" in its district name. Nearby Fields Elementary (80th percentile) and Braun Station Elementary (73rd percentile) consistently outperform Sst Hill Country in math and overall academics.

The school has experienced a notable downward trend from its 2023-2024 peak, with 3rd-grade reading proficiency dropping sharply from 66.25% to 40%, and declines among Hispanic students, Special Education students, and low socio-economic status students. Despite this, Sst Hill Country has been a standout performer for its African American student population, ranking in the top 20% statewide for three consecutive years. The school spends $12,449 per student, which is higher than Fields Elementary ($8,848) but lower than Braun Station Elementary ($15,401), raising questions about resource allocation given the mixed academic results.
