Summary

Walzem Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 603 students. The school is part of the North East Independent School District (NEISD), which is ranked 385 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher spending per student ($10,804 in 2020-2021) and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 in 2023-2024, Walzem Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on STAAR assessments is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading at Walzem Elementary was 47.06%, 37.74%, and 49.28%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 58.67%, 59.7%, and 65.05%, and the state averages of 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83%.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the NEISD district, such as Clear Spring Elementary and Camelot Elementary, Walzem Elementary generally performs worse on STAAR assessments. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (90.22% in 2023-2024) may contribute to its academic challenges, and the variability in subgroup performance indicates the need for targeted interventions to address the unique needs of the student population.
