Summary

Jackson-Keller Elementary is a K-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 552 students within the North East Independent School District (Isd), where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch—a rate far higher than nearby schools like Castle Hills Elementary (38.27%). While the school’s overall state ranking has placed it in the bottom 20-30% of Texas elementary schools, it stands out for exceptional performance with specific student groups. For African American students, Jackson-Keller ranks in the 80th percentile statewide, earning a 4-star rating—a stark contrast to its overall 1-star rating and far exceeding any nearby school for this demographic. Similarly, its Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 83rd percentile, also earning 4 stars, showing the school excels at identifying and accelerating its highest-achieving students despite broader challenges.

A fascinating trend is the strength of the school’s bilingual program: students taking the Spanish version of the STAAR test consistently outperform their peers taking the English version. For example, in 5th-grade reading (2024-2025), Spanish-proficient students scored 37.25% proficient versus 31.58% in English. Additionally, 5th-grade reading in English showed a remarkable 20-point improvement to 52.38% proficient in 2025-2026, suggesting targeted interventions or an effective teacher at that grade level. However, performance varies widely across grades and subjects, with 4th-grade math dropping from 46.67% to 35.19% in the same period, indicating student success often depends on the specific teacher or cohort rather than a stable school-wide system.

Jackson-Keller’s per-student spending ($10,768) is lower than district peers like Ridgeview Elementary ($12,872) and Dellview Elementary ($11,906), despite serving a higher concentration of students in poverty. This unusual resource allocation may not fully align with student need. For families in NEISD, especially those with African American children, Jackson-Keller offers a compelling paradox: a school with low overall rankings but demonstrably strong outcomes for specific subgroups, making it a potentially valuable choice for those who prioritize these strengths.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The campus has improved and the extra clubs and after school activities have been great. Close Quote

I am very unhappy with the attitude of the staff in the front office and the feeling of the school overall is very negative compared to the school my child went to last year. Close Quote
