Better than 14% of Texas high schools

Summary

Lanier High School in San Antonio, TX, serves 1,620 students in grades 9-12 within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), and is located in a community where over 96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting significant economic challenges.

Lanier has historically ranked in the bottom 15% of Texas high schools, with state assessment scores well below district and state averages in most subjects. However, there are notable exceptions. In U.S. History, 58% of students were proficient, nearly matching the district average—a clear strength. Additionally, the school’s Special Education program ranked in the 33rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025, outperforming the school’s overall performance. The graduation rate of 84.8% is close to the district average, though it contrasts with low proficiency rates in Algebra I and English I (under 30%), suggesting students may be progressing to graduation without full college readiness. Compared to nearby schools, Lanier’s poverty rate is the highest among traditional high schools like Burbank High School (88%) and Brackenridge High School (85%), and far exceeds magnet schools like Cast Technical High School (64%), which achieve much higher academic rankings.

An interesting finding is that Lanier’s English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better (23rd percentile) than the overall student body (14th percentile), suggesting effective ESL support. However, the school’s Gifted and Talented program ranks very low (9th percentile), indicating a need for more enrichment for high-achieving students. The data also reveals a two-tiered system within SAISD, where traditional high schools like Lanier struggle, while magnet schools like Fox Technical High School achieve far better outcomes, raising questions about equity and resource allocation.
