Summary

Brandeis High School is a large, high-performing public high school in San Antonio, TX, serving 2,657 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Northside Independent School District (Isd). This school consistently outperforms district and state averages, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, and boasts a high graduation rate of around 95%.

Brandeis stands out as a clear academic leader among nearby traditional high schools, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide—significantly higher than peers like Clark High School (62nd percentile), Taft High School (73rd percentile), and Marshall High School (42nd percentile). Its greatest strength is English Language Arts, with over 75% of students proficient in English I and II Reading—the highest rate among all large traditional high schools in the area, including its closest competitor, O'Connor High School. However, Brandeis has a notable weakness in Algebra I, where only 53% of students are proficient, matching the district and state averages. This contrasts sharply with O'Connor, which achieves a 65.97% proficiency rate in Algebra I, creating a dynamic where the best school for a student depends on their academic focus.

What truly sets Brandeis apart is its ability to support a diverse range of learners effectively. The school earns 5-star ratings for both its Special Education and Gifted and Talented students, and it also achieves strong results for students from low socio-economic backgrounds and those considered at-risk. This "lifts all boats" approach suggests that the school's programs and teaching benefit a wide spectrum of students, not just the most advantaged. While its state ranking has seen a slight dip from a peak in 2016-2017, Brandeis remains a top-tier choice for families seeking a well-rounded, high-achieving high school in the San Antonio area.
