Summary

Fields Elementary is a mid-sized public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 776 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Northside Independent School District (ISD). This school has shown remarkable improvement over the past five years, climbing from the 58th percentile statewide to the 80th percentile, earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive years. Fields stands out as the highest-ranked school among its immediate public-school peers, significantly outperforming nearby Ward Elementary (34th percentile) and Brauchle Elementary (52nd percentile), and even surpassing Franklin Elementary (70th percentile).

Fields Elementary demonstrates exceptional strength in mathematics, with students consistently scoring 10-15 percentage points higher than the district average across all grade levels. For example, 3rd graders achieved 55.56% proficiency in math compared to the district's 40.44%. The school is also highly effective with its low socio-economic status (SES) student population, ranking in the 90th percentile for this subgroup despite having a 53.99% free/reduced lunch rate—higher than Franklin Elementary (36.09%). This success in closing the achievement gap is not matched by nearby schools like Brauchle Elementary, which has a higher poverty rate (65.91%) but a much lower overall rank. Additionally, Fields excels with Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 87th and 83rd percentiles respectively, suggesting targeted instructional strategies that work well for these groups.

Interestingly, Fields achieves these strong results with a relatively modest per-student spending of $8,848 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, making it more efficient than lower-ranked Brauchle Elementary, which spends $10,210 per student. The school also outperforms nearby charter schools like SST Northwest and SST Hill Country in key areas, such as 3rd-grade math (55.56% vs. 37.04% and 41.9% respectively). However, parents should note that 5th-grade science scores are a relative weakness, with only 29.55% proficiency, below the state average. Also, the school has a persistent underperformance for Asian students, ranking in the 11th percentile, which may warrant further investigation.
