Summary

Bob Hope Elementary is a PK-5 school in San Antonio, TX, serving 488 students within the Southwest Independent School District (Isd), a district that faces significant challenges. The school serves a high-poverty community, with nearly 89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Over the past decade, Bob Hope has experienced a concerning decline in its overall state ranking, dropping from a 3-star school in the 56th percentile in 2016 to a 0-star school in the 9th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This downward trend is steeper than that of nearby schools like Price Elementary, which improved from the 19th to the 36th percentile over the same period, and Idea Ewing Halsell Academy, which remained relatively stable.

The most defining and positive differentiator for Bob Hope is its exceptional performance in Spanish-language assessments. While the school struggles in English-language STAAR tests, students taking the STAAR Spanish version consistently outperform both district and state averages by a wide margin. For example, in 2025-2026, 69.23% of 4th graders were proficient in Spanish Reading and Math, compared to district averages of around 30%. This pattern over multiple years suggests a strong bilingual or dual-language program that is highly effective for its Spanish-speaking students. No other nearby school shows this level of consistent outperformance in Spanish assessments. However, the English-language program is in significant distress, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points below the district average.

Science scores across all grades and languages are alarmingly low, with only 15.79% of 5th graders proficient in English Science and 0% in Spanish Science in 2024-2025. This is a systemic issue, though nearby schools like Hidden Cove Steam Academy and Spicewood Park Elementary also scored very low. Despite spending $12,550 per student and having a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1—better than many peers like Idea Ewing Halsell Academy at 24.2:1—academic outcomes are among the worst in the comparison group. This suggests the issue is not a lack of funding or overcrowding, but rather the effectiveness of the instructional model and how resources are utilized.
