Summary

Gillette Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 527 students in the Harlandale Independent School District (Isd), where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has historically been low-performing, but recent data shows a clear upward trend, with its state ranking improving from the 16th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 25th percentile in 2025-2026. This positive momentum stands out compared to nearby schools like Vestal Elementary and Bellaire Elementary, which have seen declines over the same period.

Gillette's most distinctive strength is its bilingual program. In 3rd grade, students taking the STAAR Spanish Reading test scored 47.37% proficient—more than double the district average—and in Spanish Math, they scored 42.86%, outperforming both the district and state averages. This success in Spanish-language assessments is a consistent trend over the past three years and sets Gillette apart from nearly all nearby schools. Additionally, the school shows strong reading performance in upper elementary grades, with 4th and 5th graders scoring 46.94% and 55.56% proficient in English Reading, respectively, which is significantly higher than district averages and nearly matches the state average for 5th grade.

However, a critical area of concern is 3rd-grade English Math, where only 9.09% of students were proficient in the most recent school year—the lowest score in the comparison group. This represents a dramatic drop from the previous year and suggests a need for targeted intervention. On a positive note, Gillette has shown capacity to support Special Education students, with a strong performance in the 2023-2024 school year (68th percentile), though this has since declined. Overall, Gillette is a school in transition, with a powerful bilingual program driving improvement, but it must address its English math challenges to continue its upward trajectory.
