Summary

Gillette Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 543 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Harlandale Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 843 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gillette Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 2375 and 3914 out of around 4,600 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of Gillette Elementary students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranges from 33.9% to 49.3%, compared to the state average of 52.02% to 57.83%. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, Gillette Elementary's proficiency rates range from 32.2% to 36.23%, while the state average is 44.88% to 46.24%.

While Gillette Elementary performs relatively well for English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools for this subgroup, the school struggles with other subgroups, such as Special Education and Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas schools for these groups. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these academic challenges. Nearby schools within the Harlandale ISD, such as Collier Elementary, H.W. Schulze Elementary, and Vestal Elementary, tend to outperform Gillette Elementary on STAAR tests and have slightly higher rankings from SchoolDigger.
