Summary

Allen Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 468 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Northside Independent School District, which is ranked 503 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Allen Elementary faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently lower STAAR test scores compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school's performance is particularly weak in science, with only 8.45% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the district's 23.11% and the state's 29.57%. Additionally, the school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is significantly lower than the district and state, indicating difficulties in serving its Spanish-speaking student population. Allen Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 1787 out of 4,320 Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 3,544 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Northside Independent School District, such as Glenn Elementary, Hull Elementary, and Westwood Terrace Elementary, also have relatively low academic performance and rankings compared to the district and state averages. However, Lackland Elementary, which is in a different district (Lackland ISD), outperforms Allen Elementary and the other nearby schools in the Northside ISD, suggesting that district-level factors may play a significant role in a school's performance.
