Summary:
The 78207 zip code in San Antonio is home to four high schools serving grades 9-12, including three traditional and alternative schools within the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd) and one charter school, Henry Ford Academy Alameda School For Art + Design, which operates under its own district.
Lanier High School is the largest and most stable traditional school in the area, with 1,620 students and the highest graduation rate at 84.8%. While its test scores are low, it is the only school with a student-teacher ratio (15.4) close to typical averages. In contrast, Cooper Academy At Navarro is a much smaller school (318 students) that appears to be struggling more significantly, with a graduation rate of just 62.7% and an alarmingly low Algebra I proficiency rate of 4.88%. The Daep program serves a very small, high-need population of 75 students with an extremely low student-teacher ratio of 3.9 and per-student spending of over $282,000, though its academic outcomes are the lowest in the area. Henry Ford Academy Alameda School For Art + Design stands out as the highest-performing school academically, with a state ranking in the 41st percentile and English II Reading proficiency at 55%, far exceeding its peers, though it also has a 50% graduation rate and a 10.3% dropout rate.
A key takeaway is that three of the four schools serve an overwhelmingly economically disadvantaged population, with over 90% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, which is strongly linked to the low test scores across the area. Henry Ford Academy Alameda School For Art + Design is a notable outlier with only 39.34% economic disadvantage, making direct comparisons difficult. Across all schools, U.S. History EOC scores are consistently the highest subject, with Lanier High School approaching the state average at 58.05% proficiency.
