Summary

East Terrell Hills Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 584 students within the North East Independent School District (Isd), where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, classifying it as a high-poverty school. Despite a challenging overall 0-star rating and a concerning downward trend in recent years, the school has a standout strength: its bilingual program, particularly in mathematics. Students taking the Spanish-language STAAR math test consistently outperform state averages—for example, 4th graders scored 58.97% proficient in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 29.41%—making this a clear success story for the school.

However, the school shows a stark contrast in reading performance. English-language reading scores are critically low, with 3rd graders at just 15.15% proficiency, while Spanish-language reading is much more competitive, with 4th graders at 46.34%—outpacing the state average. This suggests the bilingual program effectively develops literacy in Spanish, but transitioning those skills to English remains a key challenge. Compared to nearby schools, East Terrell Hills is competitive with similar high-poverty peers like Serna Elementary and Walzem Elementary, but it stands in stark contrast to Ft Sam Houston Elementary, just 2.1 miles away, which serves a much lower-poverty population and ranks in the 74th percentile with proficiency rates 30-40 points higher.

Another interesting finding is that the school’s per-student spending ($12,489) is higher than many comparable peers, yet academic outcomes remain low, raising questions about resource allocation. Historically, the school also showed exceptional performance for African American students, who ranked in the 55th percentile statewide in 2021-2022, though recent data is limited. Overall, East Terrell Hills faces systemic challenges tied to poverty, but its bilingual math program provides a concrete foundation to build upon for future improvement.
