Summary

Franz Leadership Academy is a PK-5 elementary school in San Antonio, TX, serving 322 students within the Judson Independent School District (Isd), where 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school currently holds a 1-star state ranking (25th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year.

Franz Leadership Academy shows a few notable bright spots and challenges. The school's strongest performance is in 5th Grade Reading, where 58.54% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—8 points above the district average and essentially tied with the state average. However, this success is not consistent across subjects: 5th Grade Science proficiency was just 6.82% in 2024-2025, far below the district and state averages. Math performance improves as students get older, with 5th graders (41.46% proficient) outperforming 3rd graders (25.93%) in 2025-2026. The school spends $11,426 per student, significantly more than nearby Crestview Elementary ($8,547), yet Crestview—just 0.82 miles away—achieves an 85th percentile (4-star) ranking and outperforms Franz in every subject and grade level. This stark contrast suggests school-level factors like leadership and curriculum, not demographics, drive the difference.

Franz's performance has been inconsistent over time, with state rankings bouncing from the 49th percentile (2016-2017) to the 22nd percentile (2020-2021), then up to the 43rd percentile (2023-2024), and back down to the 25th percentile (2025-2026). A major concern is the collapse of support for Gifted and Talented students, who dropped from the 50th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 1st percentile in 2025-2026. For parents, Franz offers a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 and a potential strength in upper-grade reading, but the school's overall academic struggles, especially in science and for high-achieving students, warrant careful consideration, particularly when compared to higher-performing nearby options like Crestview.
