Summary

Scarborough Elementary is a mid-sized school in San Antonio, TX, serving 925 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Northside Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a reliable, middle-of-the-pack option in a competitive cluster of nearby schools.

Scarborough’s greatest strength is its consistent excellence in upper-grade reading, with 5th-grade proficiency rates (63.7% in 2025-2026) that have outpaced both the district and state averages for three straight years. The school also shows a notable "5th-grade bump" in math, where scores (48.28% proficient) exceed district and state averages, reversing a typical trend of decline in higher grades. For families with gifted and talented students, Scarborough is a strong choice, as these students consistently earn a 4-star rating statewide. However, the school struggles with certain student groups, such as Asian and Multi-racial students, who have received lower ratings. Compared to nearby schools, Scarborough is a "safe middle ground": it is not as high-performing as Kallison Elementary (a 4-star leader 1.8 miles away) but significantly outperforms Ward Elementary (a 2-star school 1.5 miles away).

Science scores at Scarborough are volatile, showing inconsistency that may depend on specific teachers or curriculum changes. The school’s per-student spending ($8,976) and student-teacher ratio (14:1) are average for the area, suggesting its performance stems from effective instructional practices rather than higher resources. While the school has historically struggled with "At Risk" and low-income students, there is a positive trend for low socioeconomic status students, who improved from the 39th to the 54th percentile over two years. Overall, Scarborough offers a stable, solid education with standout reading and math programs, making it a dependable choice for families seeking consistency in a diverse neighborhood.

School does a good job, good teachers, but not impressed with the school compared to Banning Lewis Ranch that we moved from in Colorado Springs, CO. So far in our experience, Texas schools are behind compared to what we experienced in Colorado. Close Quote
