Summary

Edgar Allan Poe Stem Dual Language Middle in San Antonio, TX, is a public middle school serving 439 students in grades 6-8 within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd), where over 95% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high-poverty community.

This school stands out for its unique "STEM Dual Language" model, blending science, technology, engineering, and math with bilingual education—a rare combination in the area. However, academic performance is mixed. While reading scores are a relative bright spot, with 8th graders achieving 38.89% proficiency (above the district average of 35.44%), math proficiency is critically low, with only 7.27% of 7th graders meeting standards. Interestingly, the school excels in advanced math: 48.57% of Algebra I test-takers passed, outperforming nearby Rogers College Prep Middle (19.64%) and Tafolla College Prep Middle (46.67%). This suggests a "two-tiered" system where a select group accelerates while the majority struggles. The school also boasts a low dropout rate of 0.8%, well below the district average of 2.0%, indicating strong student retention despite academic challenges.

Compared to neighboring schools like Harlandale Middle (22nd percentile) and Davis Middle, Poe's overall state ranking at the 8th percentile places it in the bottom 5% of Texas middle schools, a pattern shared by many high-poverty schools in the area. The dual-language program may boost literacy, but the school needs a major overhaul in math instruction to fulfill its STEM promise. For parents, Poe offers a unique bilingual focus and a safe, engaging environment, but academic outcomes for most students lag behind district peers.
