Summary

Harlandale High School in San Antonio, TX, serves 1,652 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Harlandale Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 16th percentile statewide. Over 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas high schools, earning a 1-star rating for six consecutive years. Its academic performance has declined, dropping from the 33rd percentile in 2018-2019 to the 18th percentile in the most recent ranking.

Harlandale High struggles significantly in core academics, with STAAR End-of-Course exam proficiency rates well below state averages. For example, only 29.87% of students were proficient in Algebra I compared to the state's 54.03%, and just 34.04% were proficient in English I Reading versus the state's 55.43%. This underperformance is starkly contrasted by Harlandale Independent School District (Isd) Stem Echs-Alamo Colleges At Pac, a specialized early college high school in the same district that serves a similar demographic but ranks in the 85th percentile (4 stars). STEM ECHS achieves proficiency rates often double or triple those of Harlandale High, such as 89.69% in Biology compared to 49.74%. This highlights how a focused academic model can yield dramatically different outcomes.

Despite low academic proficiency, Harlandale High's graduation rate is a relative bright spot, consistently above 88% and reaching 95.3% in 2019-2020—comparable to or better than nearby schools like South San Antonio High School (79%) and Burbank High School (92.9%). However, this suggests a "graduation gap" where students may graduate without being fully prepared for college. The school also shows a unique strength in serving its migrant student population, ranking in the 55th percentile (3 stars) in 2022-2023, but its performance with "At Risk" students has sharply declined from the 55th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 36th percentile in 2021-2022. Nearby Por Vida Academy Charter High School serves as a cautionary example, spending $40,927 per student yet achieving a 46.4% graduation rate, underscoring that how funds are used matters more than the amount spent.
