Summary

Sun Valley Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 616 students within the Southwest Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a relative bright spot in a challenging area, particularly for its strong performance in 5th grade and its history of effectively serving students from low-income backgrounds.

Sun Valley is the highest-ranked elementary school in its immediate geographic cluster, outperforming nearby schools like Sky Harbour Elementary, Medio Creek Elementary, and Indian Creek Elementary. It also surpasses most schools from neighboring districts, such as Frank Madla Elementary and Valley High Elementary. The only nearby school that consistently scores higher is Lackland Elementary, which serves a very different student population. Sun Valley’s 5th graders are a particular strength, achieving proficiency rates in Reading and Math that exceed both district and state averages. This suggests the school has effective programs that help students catch up and excel in their later elementary years.

While Sun Valley has shown a recent dip from a peak performance in 2023-2024, it remains a school that is doing more with less, serving a community where nearly 78% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Its performance is not uniform across all grades, with 3rd and 4th grade scores sometimes lagging, but the school’s ability to boost 5th graders is a clear positive. For parents, Sun Valley represents a school that is striving for excellence and has a proven track record of helping its students succeed, especially as they approach middle school.
