Summary

Hawthorne Pk-8 Academy is a public school in San Antonio, TX, serving 740 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), and it serves a community where about 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Hawthorne is a school of stark contrasts. While it ranks in the bottom 12% of Texas elementary schools overall, it has a remarkable "bright spot" in advanced math: 62.5% of its students were proficient in Algebra I, significantly outperforming both the district and the state. This suggests a highly effective program for top math students, even as the school struggles with general math instruction (for example, only 9.8% of 7th graders were proficient in math). The school also shows relative strength in reading, outperforming the district average in five out of six tested grade levels. Additionally, Hawthorne has shown notable success with its Special Education students, ranking in the 64th percentile statewide, and has reduced its dropout rate to just 0.6%, far better than the district average. However, the school is less effective for its largest demographic—low-income students—who rank in the 9th percentile, and there is a persistent gender gap, with male students ranking in the 7th percentile.

Compared to nearby schools, Hawthorne sits in a neighborhood with a wide range of performance. It is less than a mile from the high-performing charter Great Hearts Monte Vista (78th percentile) and the top-ranked magnet Mark Twain Dual Language Academy (91st percentile), but also near Bowden Academy, which ranks in the 2nd percentile. Hawthorne's biggest challenge is translating the success of its advanced programs to all students, especially in core math, so that the entire school can achieve sustained improvement.
