Summary:
The 78238 zip code area in San Antonio, Texas is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, all part of the Northside Independent School District (ISD) and the School of Science and Technology Discovery district. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools, with some standouts like Sst Discovery and Holmes High School demonstrating strong results, while others struggle, particularly in math and science.
Sst Discovery, a public charter elementary/middle school, has the highest overall performance on state assessments compared to the other schools, ranking in the top 50% of Texas elementary schools and showing strong proficiency rates in reading, math, and science. Holmes High School also stands out, with the highest graduation rate (93.2%) and lowest dropout rate (1.0%) among the high schools in the data, as well as better performance than the district and state averages on several end-of-course exams.
The data also reveals high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.99% to 87.67%, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage across the schools. This suggests a potential link between socioeconomic status and academic performance, which is an important factor to consider when addressing the educational needs of the students in this area. The charter schools in the data set show mixed results, with Sst Discovery standing out as a high performer, while the other two charter schools, Southwest Preparatory School-Northwest and Premier High School-San Antonio Ingram, lag behind.
