Summary

Oak Crest Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 687 students within the East Central Independent School District (Isd), where 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Despite the district ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas, Oak Crest stands out as a stable, middle-of-the-pack performer, consistently ranking between the 41st and 65th percentiles over recent years. Its strength in mathematics is a key differentiator, with 3rd-grade math proficiency (51.69%) outperforming both the district and state averages, and it effectively serves Special Education students near state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Oak Crest is a clear outperformer within its district. While Pecan Valley Elementary, Harmony Elementary, and Sinclair Elementary rank in the bottom 20% of Texas, Oak Crest’s 48th percentile ranking is dramatically higher. Its closest competitor is Salado Elementary, which ranks in the 69th percentile. However, the most intriguing dynamic is the performance gap with Highland Forest Elementary, which serves a similar population but has achieved a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 25th to the 85th percentile in just two years. This suggests that high performance is achievable even with a high-poverty student body, offering a potential model for growth.

Oak Crest also shows notable trends in serving English Language Learners (ELL), with dramatic improvement from the bottom 12% to the 37th percentile in recent years. However, it faces challenges with its Gifted and Talented students, who ranked in the bottom 24% of the state, and younger Spanish-speaking students, who perform significantly lower on the Spanish STAAR test in 3rd and 4th grade. Interestingly, 5th-grade Spanish test-takers outperform their English-taking peers, which may indicate a strong program for older students. With lower spending per student ($9,764) than many peers, Oak Crest achieves better results with fewer resources, making it a solid, efficient choice for families in the area.
