Summary
Lieck Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio's Northside Independent School District (Isd), serving 631 students and showing a strong upward trend in performance after a recent dip, now ranking in the 69th percentile statewide.
Lieck's standout strength is its consistent excellence in Reading, where it has outperformed both the district and state averages across all tested grades for the last three years. For example, 4th-grade Reading proficiency reached 67.24% in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district's 49.99%. The school is also highly effective with its economically disadvantaged students, who jumped from the 46th to the 77th percentile statewide in just two years. While Math was historically a weakness, it is now rapidly improving, meeting or exceeding state averages in 3rd and 5th grade. Notably, Lieck achieves these results with lower per-student spending ($8,781) than nearby peers like Langley Elementary ($10,015) and Wernli Elementary ($9,869), demonstrating strong resource efficiency.
Compared to its neighbors, Lieck sits in a "sweet spot" with a lower poverty rate (39.62% free/reduced lunch) than nearby schools like Forester Elementary (63.49%) and Ott Elementary (58.25%), which struggle in lower percentiles. Its closest high-performing competitor, Wernli Elementary, has historically ranked higher, but Lieck is closing the gap—especially in Reading, where it matches or exceeds Wernli. However, Science remains a clear weakness, with 5th-grade proficiency at just 29.41% in 2024-2025, nearly tied with the state average. Additionally, the school has a historical blind spot for "At Risk" students, who ranked in the 30th percentile in 2021-2022, suggesting room for growth in supporting this subgroup.
