Summary

Promesa Academy Charter School is an elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 421 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Promesa Academy Charter School District, which is ranked 938 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Promesa Academy Charter School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in reading and math were around 25-35% for 3rd grade, 20-25% for 4th grade, and 20-25% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 52%, 54%, and 58% respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the nearby San Antonio Independent School District schools, such as Sarah S King Elementary, De Zavala Elementary, and J.T. Brackenridge Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments, their proficiency rates are still generally higher than Promesa Academy Charter School. The challenges faced by Promesa Academy Charter School appear to be systemic issues in the local education system, rather than unique to the charter school model.
