Summary

Sotomayor High School in San Antonio, TX, is a large, 4-star school serving 2,627 students in grades 9-12 within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its strong upward trend in state rankings and an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.0%.

This school excels in science and history, with 79.95% of students proficient in Biology and 82.99% in U.S. History, outperforming both district and state averages. However, it faces a notable challenge in Algebra I, where only 42.54% of students are proficient—well below the district average of 53.43%. This "Algebra I anomaly" is a key area for improvement, especially when compared to nearby top performers like O'Connor High School, which achieves 65.97% proficiency in the same subject. Sotomayor also dramatically outperforms lower-ranked peers such as Marshall High School and Stevens High School in every subject, highlighting a wide range of academic performance within the district.

The school demonstrates strong equity in serving diverse student groups, earning 4 stars for African American, Hispanic, White, and low-socioeconomic status students. Yet, it struggles with its Asian student population, which ranks in the 24th percentile. With a student-teacher ratio of 18:1, slightly higher than peers like Brandeis High School (16.9:1), Sotomayor is a solid choice for families seeking a school with strong science and history programs, a supportive culture, and a track record of keeping students on track to graduate.
