Summary

Ladera Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Medina Valley Independent School District (Isd) serving 804 students, with about half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it has experienced a notable decline in overall performance over the past few years.

While Ladera Elementary has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 15.3:1, its overall state ranking has dropped from the 65th percentile to the 42nd percentile over three years, earning a 2-star rating. This downward trend contrasts with nearby schools like Wernli Elementary (73rd percentile) and Lieck Elementary (69th percentile) in the Northside Independent School District (Isd), which are performing higher. Within its own district, Potranco Elementary (64th percentile) and Luckey Ranch Elementary (46th percentile) are also outperforming Ladera. A critical weakness is in 5th grade, where only 28.95% of students are proficient in math and just 17.5% are proficient in science—far below district and state averages. Additionally, performance for Special Education students has dropped dramatically to the 13th percentile.

Despite these challenges, Ladera Elementary shows a bright spot with its African American students, who rank in the 85th percentile and earn a 4-star rating, suggesting effective strategies for this group. The school’s Gifted and Talented program also performs relatively well at the 40th percentile. However, the school struggles significantly with its White student subgroup, ranking in the 24th percentile. The key to a turnaround may involve analyzing what works for the high-performing subgroup and applying those strategies school-wide, while urgently addressing the 5th-grade curriculum and Special Education support systems.
