Summary

Lackland Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a public PK-5 school on Lackland Air Force Base serving 615 students, and it stands out as a high-performing, well-resourced school in a region where many nearby schools face significant challenges.

This school is a true standout in the area. It ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide, which is dramatically higher than nearby schools like Cable Elementary (8th percentile) and Frank Madla Elementary (11th percentile). The school benefits from being the sole campus in the Lackland Independent School District (Isd), which allows for high per-pupil spending ($16,926) and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.7:1. Academically, Lackland's 3rd-5th grade reading proficiency averages 66%, compared to an average of just 38.5% for nearby schools. In math, the school's proficiency is 47.5%, versus 31.5% for its neighbors. While math scores are a relative weakness—3rd and 4th-grade math proficiency actually falls below the state average—the school still outperforms surrounding schools in this subject.

One of the most interesting findings is that Lackland serves its diverse student body exceptionally well. The school excels with its African American students (80th percentile), Hispanic students (72nd percentile), and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (73rd percentile). This is a strong indicator that the school's programs are effective across different groups. The school has also shown a remarkable rebound, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 back to a 4-star rating in 2025-2026. For military families stationed at Lackland Air Force Base, this school offers a stable, high-quality education option that is a clear academic island of excellence compared to the surrounding districts like Northside Independent School District (Isd) and South San Antonio Independent School District (Isd).
