Summary

Ott Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 606 students within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), where about 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage. The school currently ranks in the 49th percentile statewide (2 stars), a slight improvement from recent years but still below its historical peak of 4 stars in 2015-2016. When compared to nearby schools, Ott Elementary stands out as one of the lower-performing options in its cluster, with peers like Wernli Elementary (73rd percentile), Cole Elementary (77th percentile), and Lieck Elementary (69th percentile) all outperforming it significantly.

A major concern is the school's 5th-grade Science STAAR performance, where only 7.32% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—far below the district average of 23.11% and state average of 29.57%, and dramatically lower than nearby schools like Wernli Elementary (49.07%) and Galm Elementary (31.96%). Math performance is also inconsistent: 4th graders scored a strong 50.96% proficient in 2024-2025, but the same cohort dropped to just 24.39% in 5th grade, suggesting a potential hurdle in the curriculum. Additionally, the school struggles to support specific student groups, ranking in the 1st percentile for English Language Learners and the 19th percentile for Special Education students, indicating that instructional strategies may not be effectively reaching these populations.

On a positive note, Ott Elementary's Gifted and Talented program has consistently ranked in the 52nd to 66th percentile over the past three years, showing strength in challenging high-achieving students. However, there are notable equity gaps: while White students rank in the 69th percentile, African American students saw a dramatic decline from the 91st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 22nd percentile in 2025-2026, warranting investigation into recent changes. Compared to the nearby Harmony School Of Science- San Antonio (a PK-8 charter with a 59th percentile overall rank), Ott provides stronger early elementary reading scores—58.73% proficient in 3rd-grade reading versus Harmony's 39.74%—but Harmony excels in later grades, with 72.86% proficient in 8th-grade math, making it a potentially better long-term option for sustained academic growth.
