Summary

Coker Elementary is a mid-sized school in San Antonio, TX, serving 861 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade within the North East Independent School District (Isd). The school has a consistent track record of solid academic performance, typically ranking in the 69th to 77th percentile statewide over the last five years, earning it a consistent 3 or 4-star rating. It is a relatively high-poverty school, with nearly 60% of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Coker’s most defining characteristic is the stark contrast between its Reading and Math scores. In the most recent year, Coker’s Reading proficiency rates (61.8% to 71.8%) significantly outperformed both the district and state averages. However, its Math proficiency rates (43.0% to 50.0%) consistently fell below the district average and were only on par with or slightly above the state average. This "Reading strong, Math weak" profile is a key differentiator from its highest-performing neighbors, such as Hidden Forest Elementary (93rd percentile) and Huebner Elementary (83rd percentile). Conversely, it significantly outperforms high-poverty, struggling schools like Larkspur Elementary (4th percentile) and Regency Place Elementary (27th percentile).

Coker is highly effective at serving its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 78th percentile statewide in the most recent year. However, this is contrasted by a dramatic decline in its effectiveness with Special Education students, whose ranking plummeted from the 57th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026. The school also faces significant challenges with its English Language Learner (ELL) population, as Spanish-language Reading and Math scores are a significant weakness. While Coker’s per-student spending ($9,121) is on the lower end compared to its neighbors, the nearby Basis San Antonio- Pri North Central Campus charter school (93rd percentile) achieves far higher test scores across the board with lower spending per student ($7,666), suggesting that a different pedagogical approach could yield significant improvements.

Open Quote The pick up drop off is absurd.
 The morning it is so dark outside at 7:20 that you can not even see your small child walk past (at least) 8 to 10 vehicles .They enforce moving fwd & pay little attention to where children are walking,as long as the cars are moving fwd.I have a real problem with this considering my child has special needs.My child crosses the lot through two sets of moving traffic (the parent child drop off & the bus circle)to get to the door.Outragous! No  way to see if your child even makes it in the door.Considering my child is still at a age they hold my hand in the  lot, I find this disturbing.Afternoon someone who does not even introduce themselves to you or child reluctantly delivers the child in the circle of cars,meanwhile cars are wrapping both directions across front of the school leading in to moving traffic leading blocking the major thoroughfare. Main office has it going on for sure.Props to them for doing a great job! Security's strictly enforced & I applaud that.Professionalism is outstanding in my personal experienced.Not impressed  with the home room teacher appointed to my student or their professionalism.I looked into all before assigned one & wish I had been persistent on my choice. I was convinced to give the present one a try. Big Mistake. My child never had discipline issues before being enrolled here at Coker.Everyday now for about a month has been coming home with negative reports & has been acting out. I believe its negatively impacting esteem & resulting in emotional distress .At home we work on assignments sent  for hours, its obvious it was not taught in school. At this point,we should be getting homeschooling credits. At least something is being learned from somebody even if it does take away from family time &the life that we used to enjoy.Its easy to blame the child.Yet more logical for a teacher to be accountable for why their methods are not working by thinking like a adult and not being so petty.The special ed teacher is a sweet man with a lot of great methods.I believe he yields many good things.I also think being understaffed in this department deems a major problem & a  unnecessary burden for the student teacher ratio.Usually by the time intervention is needed it's already gone off the deep.
I will remain fair & objective reporting back as time progresses.I encourage other parents observance & give us your thoughts on these or other matters regarding your own personal experiences. Close Quote
