Summary
Myers Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 459 students within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), and it has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 28th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 67th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a solid 3-star rating.
Myers Elementary stands out for its exceptional performance with its 5th-grade students, who consistently achieve proficiency rates in Reading and Math that are significantly higher than both district and state averages. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 5th graders reached a 71.43% proficiency rate in Reading and 60.71% in Math, far exceeding the district averages of 57.71% and 44.98%. This "5th Grade Effect" suggests the school is particularly effective at preparing students for the transition to middle school. The school also excels at serving its core demographic groups, with Hispanic Students ranking in the 77th percentile statewide and Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) Students ranking in the 70th percentile. This is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Carlos Coon Elementary, which has a higher poverty rate but ranks in the bottom 9% of all schools. Additionally, Myers demonstrates a targeted bilingual strategy, with 4th graders taking the STAAR Spanish test achieving a 55.56% proficiency rate in Reading, well above the district average of 35.61%.
While many nearby schools are stagnant or declining, Myers is on a clear upward trajectory, a stark contrast to schools like Driggers Elementary and Knowlton Elementary, which are struggling to improve. A comparison with Raba Elementary, a high-performing school just 0.86 miles away with a lower poverty rate, is particularly favorable for Myers, as it achieves strong results despite serving a more economically disadvantaged population. The school's Gifted and Talented program has also seen dramatic improvement, jumping from the 42nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 76th percentile in 2025-2026. One area for potential focus is 5th-grade Science, where proficiency rates have lagged behind state averages, representing an opportunity for further growth.
