Summary:
Zip code 78211 in San Antonio, TX, is home to a single high school, Texans Can Academy - San Antonio, a small charter school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 72 students.
Texans Can Academy - San Antonio is part of the Texans Can Academies district, which ranks in the bottom 2% of Texas districts. The school itself ranks in the 9th percentile statewide (1795 out of 1974 schools). The most critical concern is its extremely low graduation rate of 9.9%, paired with a dropout rate of 39.3%. This means the vast majority of students do not complete high school here. The student body is highly economically disadvantaged, with 87.5% eligible for free or reduced lunch. Despite spending $14,632 per student—a relatively high amount—academic outcomes are poor. Test score proficiency varies by subject: Biology (40% proficient) and English I Reading (33.33%) are notably higher than the district average, but Algebra I proficiency is 0%, and U.S. History is only 11.11%.
The data reveals a school in crisis, where high spending has not translated into student success. The paradox is that students who remain enrolled and take state tests perform better than their district peers in some subjects, but the system fails to retain the overwhelming majority. The 0% Algebra I proficiency is a critical red flag, as math mastery is essential for graduation. For parents, this school appears to serve a highly at-risk population but is not effectively providing a pathway to a diploma. The combination of a 9.9% graduation rate and a 39.3% dropout rate suggests that families should explore other educational options in the San Antonio area if possible.
