Summary

Henderson Elementary is a public PK-5 school in the Northside Independent School District (Isd) in San Antonio, TX, serving 819 students and showing a remarkable upward trajectory that has made it one of the top-performing schools in its area.

Henderson’s most defining feature is its exceptional academic growth. After ranking in the 48th percentile statewide just a few years ago, the school has surged to the 83rd percentile for the 2025-2026 school year—a 35-percentile-point jump that far outpaces nearby peers. This improvement is especially evident in upper elementary grades, where proficiency rates in both Reading and Mathematics increase steadily from 3rd to 5th grade, suggesting the school is highly effective at developing student skills over time. For example, 5th-grade Reading proficiency reaches 72.7%, while Mathematics climbs to 62.1%. This pattern of "value-add" is not seen in all neighboring schools; at Mireles Elementary, for instance, 5th-grade math proficiency drops to 41.4%. Henderson also excels at serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with these students ranking in the 89th percentile statewide—higher than the school’s overall rank—and its Gifted and Talented students rank in the 87th percentile, showing a dual strength in supporting both vulnerable and advanced learners.

Henderson is part of a high-achieving cluster of schools in the northwest part of the district, alongside Fields Elementary (80th percentile) and Kallison Elementary (81st percentile), all significantly outperforming schools like Scarborough Elementary (58th percentile) and Reed Elementary (39th percentile). While Henderson’s per-student spending ($9,201) is higher than Kallison’s ($7,755), it achieves more with a moderate budget than some schools with far more resources, like Legacy Traditional School - Alamo Ranch ($15,008). The school’s main area for growth is Science, where 5th-grade proficiency (38.3%) lags behind Kallison’s 43.3%, though it still exceeds district and state averages. Additionally, while African American students have consistently ranked in the top 20% statewide, Special Education students remain the school’s most significant area of need, ranking in the 42nd percentile in 2025-2026 after a low of 19th percentile the prior year.
