Summary

Fenwick Academy is a public elementary and middle school (PK-8) in San Antonio, TX, serving 593 students within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), where over 91% of students come from a high-poverty community. The school has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, climbing from the 1st percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026, a stark contrast to nearby schools like Madison Elementary (6th percentile, declining) and Ogden Elementary (4th percentile, stagnant). This consistent improvement suggests recent strategies are paying off, moving the school from a "0-star" to a "1-star" rating.

Fenwick's standout strength is its exceptional performance with English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 51st percentile in 2024-2025—a massive leap from the 9th percentile just two years prior. No other nearby school shows this level of effectiveness with this subgroup. Additionally, Spanish-language STAAR scores are remarkably high, with 100% of 4th graders proficient in Spanish Reading and Math in 2025-2026, far exceeding district and state averages. This suggests a powerful dual-language environment where students thrive academically in their native language, a proven foundation for later English acquisition. The school also excels in Algebra I End-of-Course exams, with 58.33% of advanced 8th graders proficient compared to the district's 33.52%.

However, Fenwick faces significant challenges. There is a dramatic drop in 8th grade performance, with only 20.45% proficient in Reading and 6.82% in Social Studies in 2025-2026, indicating a systemic issue in preparing students for middle school core subjects. The school also struggles with Special Education students, ranking in the 5th percentile, creating an equity gap. While Fenwick spends about $12,478 per student—similar to high-performing Irving Dual Language Academy ($12,239)—its success is concentrated in specific areas, unlike Irving's sustained performance across all grades. This suggests that Fenwick is effectively using resources for its ELL population but needs to replicate those strategies for other subgroups and older grades.
