Original Research by School Decision on Texans Can Academy - San Antonio
Texans Can Academy - San Antonio is a small charter alternative school serving high school grades in the Centennial Boulevard area. The enrollment is small, with representation concentrated among Hispanic students and a substantial share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economics of the area.
The school's academic profile shows uneven performance across subjects. In reading, performance is below the approaches-standard threshold, with most students not yet demonstrating proficiency. In math, the picture is narrower still; no students reached the "meets" level, and about half the cohort achieved the "approaches" standard. Science and social studies show stronger results at the approaches level, though very few students advanced to the "meets" level in either field. Across all subjects, no students reached the "masters" standard. One year of data is available from spring 2025; longer-term trend data was not provided, so it is not possible to assess whether these results are stable, improving, or changing.
A parent should note that graduation rate data and chronic absenteeism data were not available for comparison against other schools in Bexar County, and data on special education enrollment and English learner enrollment was not reported. Alternative schools sometimes serve students with distinct academic or behavioral needs, different schedules, or prior disengagement from traditional settings, which can shape both the student body and the academic profile. Whether those factors apply here would be worth asking the school directly.
San Antonio itself is one of the fastest-growing U.S. cities, with population and new housing construction accelerating. The housing market in the school's zip code has remained relatively modest in value compared to the state benchmark, and rental costs are moderate, reflecting the inner-city location. Walkability and transit access are strongest in downtown and along the River Walk corridor; the Centennial Boulevard address sits within the urban core served by VIA Metropolitan Transit, which operates routes throughout the city. The city's major employers span healthcare and bioscience, military, finance, retail, and a growing IT cluster.
The school is part of Texans Can Academies, the charter operator. Beyond that, little public information about the district's strategic direction or recent changes was available. Prospective families may want to contact the school or operator directly to understand the program design, the student population the school is built to serve, and what support structures exist around academics, attendance, and student transitions.
