Summary

Royal Ridge Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 441 students within the North East Independent School District (Isd), where 67% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school presents a mixed picture: it excels with its highest-achieving students and supports English Language Learners well, but has recently experienced a sharp overall decline, dropping to a 1-star rating (23rd percentile) in the 2025-2026 school year.

The most notable strength at Royal Ridge is its exceptional performance with Gifted and Talented (GT) students, who ranked in the 85th percentile statewide in 2025-2026. The school also effectively serves its English Language Learners (ELL), who ranked in the 51st percentile. However, a critical weakness is mathematics, where proficiency rates across all tested grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th) are dramatically lower than district and state averages—for example, only 1 in 5 5th graders are proficient in math. This math struggle contrasts sharply with the success of top-tier students, as seen in a 100% proficiency rate for a small group of advanced students taking 6th-grade math tests.

Compared to nearby schools, Royal Ridge’s recent trajectory is concerning. Woodstone Elementary, just 2 miles away in the same district, maintained a 3-star rating (60th percentile) and significantly outperforms Royal Ridge in math and science. Additionally, high-performing charter schools like Sst Alamo (4-star district) and Idea Judson Academy (3-star) offer clear alternatives within a 2-mile radius. The school also shows inconsistent support for vulnerable populations, with Special Education students dropping from the 71st percentile to the 27th percentile in one year. Royal Ridge is at a critical juncture, needing to stabilize core instruction—especially in math—to prevent further decline.
