Summary

Burke Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Northside Independent School District (Isd) serving 542 students, and it has made a remarkable post-pandemic comeback to earn a 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide. This turnaround is especially impressive given that the school serves a diverse student body, with 64.58% of students receiving free or reduced lunch—a much higher rate than nearby high-performing peers like Carson Elementary (36.68%) and Krueger Elementary (34.59%). Despite these challenges, Burke is outperforming many of its neighbors, particularly in math, where 76% of 5th graders were proficient in 2025-2026—a staggering 31-point lead over the district average of 44.98% and far ahead of the next closest school, Brauchle Elementary, at 54.24%.

What truly sets Burke apart is its ability to achieve strong results with high-needs student groups. The school consistently excels with Special Education students (ranking in the 81st-82nd percentile over the last three years) and Gifted and Talented students (88th percentile in 2025-2026), a feat not matched by many surrounding schools. This success is highlighted by a stark contrast with Knowlton Elementary, located just 1.07 miles away, which has a similar demographic profile (76.06% free/reduced lunch) but ranks in the bottom 25% of Texas schools (1-star). Burke’s upward trajectory—improving its statewide rank for four consecutive years after a pandemic low—stands in contrast to schools like Fernandez Elementary and Ward Elementary, which are on downward trends.

While math is Burke’s clear superpower, 5th-grade science scores are also a growing strength, with 35.29% of students proficient in 2024-2025, outpacing the district (23.11%) and state (29.57%). However, the school faces a critical area for improvement: STAAR Spanish scores are consistently low, with only 16.67% of 3rd graders proficient in Reading (Spanish) versus 57.81% in Reading (English). This suggests the bilingual/ESL program needs targeted support to ensure equity across all programs. Overall, Burke is a standout in the Northside ISD, demonstrating that effective leadership and teaching practices can drive exceptional outcomes, even in the face of economic challenges.
