Summary

Mireles Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 789 students in the Northside Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in reading and math, where it consistently beats both district and state averages.

Mireles excels in several key areas. It is especially effective at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide for this group, and has shown rapid improvement for Hispanic and Special Education students. The school also uses its resources efficiently, spending less per student ($8,275) than nearby peers like Scarborough Elementary and Ward Elementary, while achieving higher academic results. However, there are a few areas to watch. A notable "math dip" occurs in 5th grade, with proficiency dropping significantly from 4th grade. Additionally, while the school performs well overall, its Asian student subgroup ranks in the 13th percentile, and performance for Gifted and Talented students has been erratic, dropping from the 87th to the 47th percentile in one year.

Compared to its closest rival, Sst Northwest (a charter school 0.78 miles away), Mireles has a stronger foundation in early-grade reading but falls behind in upper-grade reading and math. This suggests that while Mireles provides a solid start, families may want to consider how the school supports students as they move into upper elementary, especially in math. Overall, Mireles is a high-performing school that delivers strong results for many students, with targeted programs that are closing achievement gaps, though some subgroups and grade-level transitions may need extra attention.

Open Quote Both my daughters have attended this school for over 3 years (2016-2019) and we love it! There is some bullying, but it's dealt with pretty quickly. The teachers really invest everything into their teaching and into the children in their classroom. Communication between teachers and parents is awesome! Very open door. The Front office is run efficiently, orderly, and friendly! The staff really cares about the kids in their charge. Close Quote

Open Quote Amazing. We are so pleased with this school. I am even going to buy a home in the area (despite the homes being overpriced for what they are) just so my children can continue to go here. Close Quote
