Summary

Collins Garden Elementary is a PK-5 public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 431 students within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has faced significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Texas elementary schools in recent years, with a particularly severe math deficit—only 6.38% of 3rd graders were proficient in math on the most recent STAAR test, far below the state average of 44.33%.

One bright spot is the school’s bilingual program, which shows remarkable strength in upper grades. In 5th grade, 50% of students taking the Spanish version of the reading test and 42.86% taking the Spanish math test were proficient, outperforming district and state averages for those assessments. However, this success contrasts with a sharp recent decline overall, especially when compared to nearby Hillcrest Elementary, which serves a similar high-poverty population but has risen to the 44th percentile. Hillcrest benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio (13.5:1 vs. 16.2:1) and higher per-student spending ($12,468 vs. $10,935), and its 4th-grade math proficiency of 64.1% dwarfs Collins Garden’s 29.79%.

Science proficiency is a systemic issue across the area, with Collins Garden’s 5th-grade science score at just 5.08%, and several nearby schools like Charles Graebner Elementary and Sarah S King Elementary posting 0% proficiency. The school’s Hispanic and low-income students—its largest subgroups—perform at the very bottom of the state (5th and 8th percentiles), while smaller groups like Special Education show relative improvement. For parents, this suggests a school with a strong bilingual foundation but urgent needs in math and science instruction, and a clear opportunity to learn from Hillcrest’s successful strategies.
