Summary

Tomlinson Elementary in San Antonio, TX, serves 875 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Northside Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking above the district average with a 4-star rating. This school shines brightest in Reading, where students in every tested grade outperform both district and state averages—for example, 4th-grade Reading proficiency hit 66.46% compared to the district's 52.35%. However, a notable challenge emerges in 5th-grade Math, where only 43.92% of students were proficient, falling below the state average of 47.38%. This pattern suggests a potential curriculum gap as students approach middle school, making it a key area for parents to monitor.

When compared to nearby schools, Tomlinson holds its own but isn't the top performer in every subject. It outperforms its closest neighbors, Franklin Elementary (0.42 miles away) and Scarborough Elementary (1 mile away), in overall rank and test scores. Yet, Kallison Elementary and Fields Elementary consistently rank higher, especially in Math—Kallison's 5th-grade Math proficiency was 63.08% versus Tomlinson's 43.92%. For families prioritizing Math, these alternatives may be worth exploring. Additionally, 5th-grade Science scores have been a systemic issue across the district, with Tomlinson's 26.28% proficiency in 2024-2025 still below the state average of 29.57%.

Tomlinson excels in serving its African American students, who ranked in the 82nd percentile statewide, a standout achievement. However, the school's support for economically disadvantaged students is weaker, with this subgroup ranking in the 36th percentile. This contrast highlights an area for growth, as the school's overall high performance may not fully extend to all student groups. With a low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch (26.29%), Tomlinson's academic strengths are clear, but families should consider how the school's resources align with their child's specific needs, particularly in Math and Science.
