Summary

L B Johnson Elementary in San Antonio, TX, serves 317 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Edgewood Independent School District (Isd), a high-needs area where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of English Language Learners (ELL) and Special Education students, ranking in the 85th and 90th percentiles statewide for these groups, respectively. While its overall academic rank is low (16th percentile), this reflects a focused investment in its most vulnerable populations. The school also boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1, much smaller than nearby Loma Park Elementary (17.2:1) or the charter Idea Monterrey Park Academy (24.8:1). A consistent "bright spot" is 5th grade, where reading and math proficiency often exceed district averages, suggesting strong upper-grade instruction. However, performance can vary significantly from year to year, indicating that a particular cohort of students can heavily influence results.

Compared to other Edgewood ISD schools, L B Johnson is the top performer, outpacing H B Gonzalez Elementary (2nd percentile) and Roosevelt Elementary (3rd percentile). Yet, just 1.5 miles away, Esparza Elementary in the Northside Independent School District (Isd) achieves proficiency rates that are often double, highlighting the impact of district-level resources. Despite spending over $11,000 per student—similar to nearby schools—L B Johnson’s challenges are tied to deep-seated socioeconomic barriers. Its recent upward trend in overall rank is a promising sign that its targeted successes may be lifting the entire school community.
