Summary:
The 78233 zip code in San Antonio, Texas, is home to 14 schools serving elementary through high school grades, offering a diverse mix of traditional public schools from the Judson Independent School District (Isd) and North East Independent School District (Isd), alongside high-performing charter networks like Great Hearts Texas, School Of Science And Technology, Idea Public Schools, and Basis Texas.
The standout school in the area is Judson Early College Academy, a high school ranked in the top 7% of Texas schools with a near-perfect graduation rate and test scores dramatically higher than its district average. The School Of Science And Technology network also excels, with Sst Sa College Prep High School ranking in the top 20% and Sst Alamo in the top 11% of elementary schools. Within the struggling Judson ISD, Crestview Elementary is a bright spot, ranking in the top 15% of Texas elementary schools for three consecutive years. In contrast, Wood Middle faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 13% of middle schools with critically low math proficiency rates.
Key metrics show an average free/reduced lunch rate of about 60%, indicating a predominantly low-income area, and spending per student ranges from $6,793 to $12,102 with no clear link to performance. A universal weakness across all schools is math, with proficiency rates significantly lower than reading. The Basis Texas campuses here, while still strong, are the weakest in their elite network, suggesting location-specific factors matter. For parents, the data clearly shows that charter schools and specialized programs like JECA offer the highest academic outcomes, while traditional public schools in Judson ISD vary widely, with Crestview being a notable exception.
