Summary

Leon Valley Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 613 students within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), where over 71% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from a low 1-star rating to a solid 3-star rating (52nd percentile) for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, placing it as a strong, middle-of-the-pack performer among its immediate neighbors.

Leon Valley Elementary stands out for its exceptional support of Spanish-speaking students, consistently outperforming both district and state averages in Spanish Reading and Math for 3rd and 4th grades. The school also excels in English/Language Arts, with 4th and 5th graders scoring 58.33% and 62.07% proficient, respectively—dramatically higher than nearby schools like Driggers Elementary (53.97% in 5th grade) and Glenoaks Elementary (41.51%). While Basis San Antonio Pri- Medical Center Campus (98th percentile) serves as a top-tier benchmark with a very different demographic profile, Leon Valley outperforms most of its Northside ISD peers, including Powell Elementary (24th percentile) and Oak Hills Terrace Elementary (5th percentile).

The school is particularly effective with its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the 63rd percentile for this subgroup—significantly higher than its overall rank—indicating strong support for overcoming challenges associated with poverty. However, 5th-grade Science scores remain a clear area for growth, hovering around 14-18% proficiency, below district and state averages. For parents seeking a school with a proven track record of improvement, strong reading instruction, and exceptional bilingual programs, Leon Valley Elementary is a compelling choice that has nearly doubled its state ranking in just two years.
