Summary

Great Hearts Monte Vista is a public charter elementary school (K-5) in San Antonio, TX, serving 468 students as part of the top-ranked Great Hearts Texas district. Located in the Monte Vista neighborhood, the school has a long track record of strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 15% of Texas elementary schools for most of the last six years, though it has seen a slight dip from its peak to a still-strong 4-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out dramatically from its immediate neighbors in the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd). For example, 5th-grade reading proficiency at Great Hearts Monte Vista is 65.82%, compared to just 36.51% at Woodlawn Academy and 20% at David Crockett Academy. The school achieves these results with a higher student-teacher ratio (21.2:1) and lower per-pupil spending ($10,538) than nearby SAISD schools, which typically have ratios of 14-15:1 and spending above $12,000. Interestingly, the closest high-performing competitor is Mark Twain Dual Language Academy, just 0.6 miles away, which also ranks in the 91st percentile while serving a much higher percentage of low-income students, showing that high performance is possible across different student demographics in the area.

While Great Hearts Monte Vista excels in core subjects like reading and math, with scores consistently 15-30 points above the state average, there are some areas to watch. The school has seen a notable decline in performance for Hispanic students and low-income students in recent years, and the most significant red flag is for special education students, whose ranking dropped from the 83rd percentile to the 38th percentile in just two years. This suggests that while the school offers a strong academic program overall, families with children who need special education support should investigate the school's current programs closely.

Monday, November 9, 2015

Our children began studying at Great Hearts--Monte Vista last year when the school opened. We have been extremely pleased with both the curriculum and the quality of educators. We've found that our children are challenged every day. There is no doubt in my mind that both our children will be well-prepared for college upon graduation. Close Quote
