Summary

Ridgeview Elementary is a PK-5 public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 487 students within the North East Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from the 23rd to the 56th percentile in state rankings over the last three years.

This school is a true turnaround story, especially when compared to nearby schools. While Jackson-Keller Elementary remains in the 19th percentile, Ridgeview has surged ahead, even outperforming some demographically similar schools. Its most impressive achievements are with specific student groups: it ranks in the 99th percentile statewide for Gifted and Talented students and the 78th percentile for Special Education students—a level of support that is rare in the area. The school also excels with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 71st percentile. However, performance is uneven; while reading scores are on par with district averages, math and science are clear areas for growth, with 5th-grade science proficiency historically very low. Interestingly, students taking the Spanish version of the STAAR test perform remarkably well, suggesting the bilingual program is a strong asset.

Ridgeview offers a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and spends above the district average per student, indicating a commitment to resources. For parents, this school represents a community on the rise, with a clear focus on supporting all learners, from those needing extra help to those who are gifted. While you may want to ask about their plans for strengthening math and science, the school’s dramatic improvement and exceptional support for special populations make it a compelling choice for families seeking a dedicated and improving neighborhood school.
