Summary

Schenck Elementary is a PK-5 campus in the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd) serving 828 students in a high-poverty area, where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school’s standout strength is its bilingual program, with Spanish-language STAAR scores in 3rd and 4th grade math and reading far exceeding state averages—for example, 51.61% proficient in 3rd grade math versus the state’s 27.28%. This makes Schenck a strong choice for families seeking a dual-language education, even as its overall state ranking has dropped from a 3-star (57th percentile) in 2022-2023 to a 1-star (26th percentile) for 2025-2026.

Compared to nearby schools, Schenck offers relative stability in a volatile neighborhood. While Charles C Ball Elementary and Highland Hills Elementary have fallen to the 6th percentile or lower, Schenck has held steady in the 24th-26th percentile for three years. However, a striking contrast is Highland Forest Elementary in East Central Independent School District (Isd), just 1.46 miles away, which serves a similar student population (80.84% free/reduced lunch) but ranks in the 85th percentile with test scores nearly double Schenck’s. This gap suggests that factors beyond poverty—like district resources or instructional models—drive success at Highland Forest.

Schenck’s performance for specific student groups is inconsistent. English Language Learners have swung from a 93rd percentile ranking in 2022-2023 to a 12th percentile in 2023-2024, while Special Education students hit a 7th percentile in 2023-2024 before improving to the 44th percentile. Gifted and Talented students consistently rank low (15th percentile), indicating the school may not fully challenge its highest achievers. Notably, Schenck spends $11,699 per student—more than Highland Forest ($10,479) or Pecan Valley Elementary ($11,061)—yet achieves lower outcomes, pointing to a need for more effective use of funds. For parents, Schenck’s bilingual program is a clear asset, but overall academic growth remains a work in progress.
