Summary

Wetmore Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 479 students in grades PK-5 within the North East Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 57th percentile statewide. The school has experienced a notable decline in recent years, dropping from a 4-star rating to a current 2-star rating, with its overall state ranking falling from the 76th percentile in 2016 to the 45th percentile in the most recent data.

The most significant concern for parents is a sharp and consistent decline in mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency has fallen to just 24%, which is nearly half the district average of 46% and the state average of 49%. This is a stark contrast to the nearby Redland Oaks Elementary, just 1.56 miles away, which serves a similar demographic area but is on an upward trajectory with a 4-star rating and consistently scores above district and state averages in math and reading. Reading performance at Wetmore is mixed: 5th-grade reading is a strength at 70% proficiency, outperforming both the district and state, but 4th-grade reading lags at 48%, well below the district average of 59%. On a positive note, the school has a unique strength in 5th-grade science, outperforming both the district and state averages for three consecutive years.

The school faces challenges with specific student groups, particularly English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the 18th percentile, suggesting a need for stronger support. However, there are bright spots, including recent improvement for African American students, who jumped from the 3rd percentile to the 62nd percentile. Per-student spending at Wetmore ($9,748) is in the middle of the pack compared to nearby schools, and notably lower than the high-performing Redland Oaks ($16,313), indicating that the school's struggles may be more about how resources are used than a lack of funding. Overall, Wetmore Elementary is a school at a crossroads, with clear areas needing intervention, especially in math, but also with proven strengths in science and 5th-grade reading that provide a foundation for improvement.
