Summary

Hot Wells Middle in San Antonio, TX, serves 595 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the bottom 20% of Texas school districts. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of all Texas middle schools over the past four years, with its state percentile ranking fluctuating between the 4th and 9th percentiles, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

The school's most critical challenge is in mathematics, where proficiency rates are exceptionally low. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 3.31% of 7th graders and 6.01% of 6th graders were proficient in math. This is significantly worse than nearby schools serving similar populations, such as A Leal Junior Middle (24th percentile) and Terrell Wells Middle (33rd percentile) in the Harlandale Independent School District (Isd). However, Hot Wells shows a bright spot in Algebra I, where 49.06% of students taking the End-of-Course exam were proficient in 2025-2026, outperforming the district average and coming close to the state average. This suggests that while the school struggles with general math instruction, it has pockets of effectiveness for advanced students.

Another interesting finding is the dramatic improvement in the Gifted and Talented subgroup, which jumped from the 9th percentile to the 35th percentile in one year. This indicates that specific interventions or programming changes for these students have been highly effective. The school's performance with African American students (14th percentile) and Special Education students (8th-10th percentile) is also notably better than its overall ranking. Despite serving a population with extremely high economic need, the school's low performance is not inevitable, as neighboring schools like Terrell Wells Middle and A Leal Junior Middle achieve significantly better results with similar demographics. Without a significant and targeted intervention, Hot Wells appears locked in a cycle of low performance.
