Summary

Neal Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 475 students. It is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD), which is ranked 790 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Neal Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on STAAR assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading is 41.46%, 56.41%, and 32.65%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83%. The school's performance is particularly weak in STAAR Science, with only 7.69% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 29.57%. Despite higher per-student funding and a lower student-teacher ratio than the district and state averages, Neal Elementary continues to struggle academically.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Agnes Cotton Academy, Rogers Academy, Franklin Elementary, and Arnold Elementary, generally outperform Neal Elementary on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. The nearby Somerset Academy Lone Star charter school also outperforms Neal Elementary. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Neal Elementary to learn from and adopt effective practices from its higher-performing counterparts to improve student outcomes.
