Summary
Evers Elementary is a PK-5 public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 580 students within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), where roughly two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown a notable strength in 3rd Grade Mathematics, achieving a 50% proficiency rate in the 2025-2026 school year—the highest among eight nearby Northside ISD elementary schools, tied with Lewis Elementary—and outperforming both the district (40.44%) and state (44.33%) averages. However, this success does not carry over to later grades, as math proficiency drops to 39.73% in 4th grade and 29.07% in 5th grade, suggesting a need for better curriculum alignment. Additionally, 5th Grade Science is a persistent weakness, with only 21.18% of students proficient in 2024-2025, well below the state average of 29.57%.
Evers has experienced a sharp decline in its overall state ranking, falling from the 25th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 40th percentile in 2025-2026, breaking a multi-year trend of improvement. This volatility sets it apart from nearby schools like Raba Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 20% (79th-90th percentile) and boasts significantly higher test scores, such as 79.59% proficiency in 5th Grade Reading versus Evers’ 50.57%. The contrast highlights the strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as Raba has a lower free/reduced lunch rate (51.33%) compared to Evers (66.9%). Meanwhile, Carlos Coon Elementary has been stuck in the bottom 10% of rankings.
Despite these challenges, Evers has shown remarkable improvement for its largest student groups. Low Socio-Economic Status students jumped from the 14th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026, and Hispanic students rose from the 14th to the 41st percentile over the same period, indicating recent initiatives are effectively serving these populations. However, a significant gender gap exists, with male students ranking in the 54th percentile (3 stars) and female students in the 26th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026. The school spends about $9,791 per student, lower than peers like Timberwilde Elementary ($11,344) and Cody Elementary ($11,469), but its student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is competitive, suggesting resource allocation may need adjustment.
