Summary:
Zip code 78251 in San Antonio, Texas, is home to 12 schools serving elementary through high school grades, primarily under the Northside Independent School District (Isd), with two charter campuses from Basis Texas.
The standout performer in this area is Basis San Antonio - Jack Lewis Junior Campus, a middle school ranking in the 91st percentile statewide with a 5-star rating and dramatically higher test scores than district and state averages. Among traditional public schools, Raba Elementary shines as a rising star, consistently outperforming peers despite 51% of its students being economically disadvantaged. For high schools, Warren High School is the top choice, with a 94.5% graduation rate and strong proficiency in Biology, English, and U.S. History, while Stevens High School lags with an 89.2% graduation rate and a 2.2% dropout rate. The economic disparity is notable, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 41.82% at Warren High to 83.18% at Carlos Coon Elementary, and spending per student shows an inverse relationship to performance, suggesting factors beyond funding drive success.
Key weaknesses include a "math problem" at Jordan Middle and Vale Middle, where 7th-grade math proficiency is below 10%, far under the state average of 29.41%. Elementary science is also a concern, with Murnin Elementary and Carlos Coon Elementary posting 5th-grade science proficiency rates around 8%, compared to the state's 29.57%. Overall, families in 78251 have clear choices: Basis Middle for top academics, Raba Elementary for a strong traditional option, and Warren High for the best high school outcomes, but should be aware of the math and science gaps in several Northside ISD schools.
