Summary

Agnes Cotton Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in San Antonio, Texas, part of the San Antonio Independent School District. With 515 students, Agnes Cotton Academy has consistently outperformed the district and state averages on STAAR tests, particularly in reading and math proficiency.

A key strength of Agnes Cotton Academy is its ability to support Hispanic and English Language Learner students, ranking in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups in recent years. The school also maintains relatively low dropout rates compared to the district. Additionally, Agnes Cotton Academy allocates more resources per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than the district average, which may contribute to its academic success.

Compared to nearby schools, Agnes Cotton Academy generally outperforms its peers, though some schools like Mark Twain Dual Language Academy and Great Hearts Monte Vista (a charter school outside the district) also demonstrate strong academic performance. While Agnes Cotton Academy performs well overall, its special education and 7th-grade math proficiency rates could be areas for the school to focus on improving.
