Summary

Cody Elementary is a mid-sized PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 480 students within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), and it is currently in the midst of a promising turnaround after years of struggling academically.

The most striking feature of Cody Elementary is its exceptional performance with Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide—a stark contrast to its overall ranking. This strength is complemented by a strong bilingual program, where 3rd graders taking the STAAR Spanish exam significantly outperformed both the district and state averages in Reading and Math. However, the school faces a critical challenge with its Special Education students, who rank in the 5th percentile, highlighting a significant area for growth. While Cody's overall state ranking has climbed from the 10th percentile to the 34th percentile in recent years, this progress is not yet consistent across all grade levels, with 5th-grade scores lagging behind. Compared to nearby schools, Cody is outperforming demographically similar peers like Hatchett Elementary (17th percentile) and Adams Hill Elementary (6th percentile), but it still trails higher-performing schools like Galm Elementary and Forester Elementary.

A key asset for Cody is its notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.6:1, which is much lower than many nearby schools and charter options like Idea Burke Academy (23:1). This resource, if strategically directed, could be pivotal in bridging the gap between its high and low performers and sustaining its positive trajectory. For parents, Cody Elementary offers a unique environment where advanced learners thrive, but it also requires careful consideration for families with children who have special needs.

What people are saying

Friday, February 22, 2013

My son transferred to Cody Elementary School for first grade since we relocated due to military move. My son has excelled in both reading and Math since he moved here. The Special Education class for children with autism is excellent; the Special Ed Teacher was awarded Teacher of the Year. His class has 7 students and my son is integrated in other classes for core curriculum (English, Science, Math, Social Studies) and gets one-on-one attention for Speech Therapy and PE with the Special Ed Teachers. He loves going to this school and we decided to keep him at Cody for the rest of the school year as it isn't as big as the newer schools in NISD even though it's a bit farther from our home. My son is also reading and spelling just like the kids in the regular classes and gets plenty of support from all his teachers. Close Quote
