Summary

Murnin Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 campus within the Northside Independent School District (Isd) serving 662 students in a predominantly low socio-economic status area, and it has staged a remarkable academic turnaround, surging from the 19th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 56th percentile in 2025-2026.

This "comeback kid" narrative sets Murnin apart from nearby schools. While Raba Elementary (79th percentile) and Forester Elementary (66th percentile) have maintained consistent performance, and Hatchett Elementary (17th percentile) and Cody Elementary (34th percentile) have remained low, Murnin has experienced a dramatic V-shaped recovery. Notably, Murnin now outperforms nearby charter schools serving similar populations, such as Idea Burke Academy (49th percentile) and Idea Mays Academy (39th percentile). The school excels in serving its low socio-economic status students, ranking in the 70th percentile for that subgroup, and its 3rd-grade reading proficiency (60.44%) significantly exceeds district (51.73%) and state (51.08%) averages.

However, the turnaround is not uniform. Female students rank in the 67th percentile statewide, while male students rank only in the 39th percentile, a 28-point gap that suggests targeted interventions for boys could be the next step. A critical weakness is 5th-grade Science, where only 7.92% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, far below the district (23.11%) and state (29.57%) averages. Interestingly, Murnin’s per-student spending ($9,289) is lower than that of lower-performing neighbors like Cody ($11,469) and Hatchett ($10,310), indicating that its success stems from effective resource allocation and instructional strategies rather than higher funding.

We are coming into our 3rd year at Murnin. It has been a joy having our child attend this school. Each teacher my child has had has been a beautiful influence in their life, offering encouragement and amazing support. The teachers are dedicated to their work and it shows. The administrators have also been wonderful. From the lovely ladies that greet us in the front office when we pop in, they make sure to represent all the good things the school offers. My child has thrived at Murnin and is in the GT program and has developed a strong love for learning and school.

Advice to parents, take the time to get to know your kids teachers and the support staff. Involve yourself in the activities as much as you're able to so that the positive experience will be shared as a family. This will foster healthy relationships and open lines of communication that ultimately benefit and encourage the educational success of your child. Close Quote
