Summary

Steam At The Fine Arts Academy is a small high school in San Antonio, TX, serving 240 students in grades 9-12 within the Edgewood Independent School District (Isd), a district that faces significant systemic challenges.

This school stands out for its ability to keep students on track to graduation. With a dropout rate of just 1.0% and a graduation rate of 88.9%—far exceeding the district average of 69.9%—it functions as a supportive environment for at-risk students. Small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.9, likely contribute to this success. Academically, the school shows strength in U.S. History and Biology, consistently outperforming district peers like Memorial High School and John F Kennedy High School. However, math is a critical weakness: only 8.11% of students were proficient in Algebra I in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 47.01%. This gap is especially notable given the school's "STEAM" focus, which emphasizes science and math.

When compared to nearby schools serving similar demographics, the academic challenges become clearer. Idea Ingram Hills College Preparatory and Idea Monterrey Park College Preparatory achieve state-level proficiency in Algebra I and English I, while Steam lags significantly. The school's overall state ranking has declined from the 39th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 22nd percentile for 2025-2026, and its ability to support low-income students has dropped from the 54th to the 23rd percentile. This suggests that while Steam excels at retention and graduation, it struggles to translate that supportive environment into strong academic outcomes, particularly in math.
