Summary

Martin Elementary is a mid-sized PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 537 students within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), where a high percentage of families (over 80%) qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has faced significant academic challenges for nearly a decade, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools and currently holding a 1-star rating. However, there are small signs of improvement, as the school's state ranking has risen from a low of the 2nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 10th percentile in 2025-2026.

The most striking comparison is with nearby Esparza Elementary, located less than a mile away and also in the Northside ISD. Despite serving a similar student population, Esparza ranks in the 46th percentile (2-star rating) and achieves far higher test scores—for example, its 5th-grade reading proficiency (61%) is nearly double Martin's (33%), and its 5th-grade math proficiency (50%) is more than double Martin's (21%). This gap shows that the challenges at Martin are not inevitable. Another nearby option, Idea Ingram Hills Academy, a charter school just 1.76 miles away, also serves a high-poverty community but ranks in the 61st percentile, further demonstrating that strong outcomes are possible in similar circumstances.

Despite the overall struggles, Martin Elementary has a few notable bright spots. Its bilingual program appears to be a relative strength, with students sometimes outperforming state averages on the STAAR Spanish exams, such as in 3rd-grade math (31% proficient vs. 20% statewide). Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 34th percentile, the highest-performing subgroup in recent years. However, the school faces critical challenges in supporting its most vulnerable students, with Special Education students ranking in the 1st percentile and At-Risk students consistently in the bottom 5%. For parents, this school offers a dedicated bilingual program and some targeted support for high-achieving students, but the overall academic performance remains a serious concern, especially when compared to nearby schools achieving much better results with similar demographics.
