Summary:
Zip code 78251 in San Antonio, Texas, is home to two large public high schools, Stevens High School and Warren High School, both serving grades 9 through 12 within the Northside Independent School District (Isd).
Warren High School is the standout performer in this area, consistently outperforming its neighbor across nearly every academic metric. Warren ranks in the 68th percentile statewide, while Stevens High School ranks in the 43rd percentile. Warren exceeds both district and state averages in Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History, whereas Stevens falls below district averages in all subjects. Warren also boasts a strong 94.5% graduation rate and a very low 0.6% dropout rate, compared to Stevens' 89.2% graduation rate and 2.2% dropout rate. A notable shared weakness is Algebra I, where both schools significantly underperform the district and state averages, suggesting a systemic math challenge in this part of the district.
The most significant difference between the two schools is the percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch, which is 61.08% at Stevens compared to 41.82% at Warren. This economic disparity strongly correlates with the differences in academic performance and graduation rates. While Warren is a stable, high-performing school, Stevens shows a slight positive upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 37th percentile to the 43rd percentile over recent years. Interestingly, Warren spends slightly more per student ($8,409 vs. $8,136) and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (16.3 vs. 14.9), indicating its success is not simply due to having more teachers per student but likely stems from other factors like curriculum and instruction quality.
