Summary:
The 78260 zip code in San Antonio, Texas, is served by five high-performing schools—one high school, one middle school, and three elementary schools—with a total enrollment of approximately 5,197 students, and is characterized by a relatively low level of economic disadvantage.
The educational landscape is dominated by the Comal Independent School District (Isd), which operates four of the five schools and ranks in the 89th percentile statewide. The standout school is Pieper Ranch Middle, a 5-star institution ranking in the 94th-96th percentile, with exceptional test scores like 95.63% proficiency in Algebra I. The "Pieper Pipeline" of Kinder Ranch Elementary, Pieper Ranch Middle, and Pieper High School forms a highly effective, consistent academic pathway. In contrast, Tuscany Heights is a 4-star "bright spot" within the lower-ranked North East Independent School District (Isd) (57th percentile), dramatically outperforming its district averages in every subject, including a perfect 100% proficiency rate in 6th Grade Math for two consecutive years.
Key metrics show that 4 out of 5 schools hold a 4-star rating, with Pieper Ranch Middle earning 5 stars. Test scores reveal strengths in Biology (88.42% at Pieper High) and U.S. History (84.05%), while 7th Grade Math is a universal challenge, with Pieper Ranch Middle scoring only 32.04% proficient. A notable anomaly is the Algebra I gap: Pieper Ranch Middle achieves 95.63% proficiency by accelerating top students, while Pieper High School's 62.31% reflects the remaining students taking it in 9th grade. Student-teacher ratios range from 14.5:1 at Mh Specht Elementary to 18.1:1 at Pieper High School, and per-student spending varies from $8,371 at Tuscany Heights to $9,376 at Kinder Ranch Elementary.
