Northeast El Campus, San Antonio TX

Original Research by School Decision on Northeast El Campus

Northeast El Campus is a small alternative elementary school within Southwest Preparatory School, a charter district in San Antonio. It serves grades pre-K through fifth grade with an enrollment of about fifty students. The school operates from the northeastern part of the city.

The student body is diverse economically and racially. A substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. About half the enrollment is Hispanic, roughly a quarter Black, and the remainder White or multiracial. Data on English learners and students with disabilities were not available.

Academic results are concerning. In English language arts, proficiency—meeting the state's third and fourth achievement levels—ranges from low in third grade to moderate in fifth. Math proficiency is weaker across the board, with particularly low attainment in fourth grade. When looking at overall proficiency across tested grades and subjects, the school sits below the midpoint among elementary schools in Bexar County. The data show that a meaningful share of students are approaching proficiency, suggesting some baseline skills, but the portion meeting grade-level standards remains small. A parent may want to look into further detail with the school about interventions, assessment practices, and whether this curriculum and environment match their child's needs.

No state assessment results were available for kindergarten and first grade, which reflects Texas testing policy that begins formal state assessment in third grade. Data on chronic absenteeism, graduation rate, or school discipline were not provided.

The school is housed at an address on Austin Highway in the northeast section of San Antonio. The neighborhood sits in an area where median home values are moderately above the Texas benchmark and rents have declined slightly year over year. San Antonio itself is one of the fastest-growing U.S. cities, with substantial new residential construction in multiple neighborhoods including outlying areas to the north and east.

Without information on class sizes, teaching approach, specialized programming, or district strategic priorities, a parent considering this school would benefit from visiting, speaking with current families, and understanding whether the school's alternative structure and current academic outcomes align with their child's learning profile and family goals.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
