Original Research by School Decision on Kipp Somos Pri
KIPP SOMOS PRI is a small charter school serving pre-kindergarten through second grade in San Antonio's North Central area, on Callaghan Road. The school enrolls a modest number of students, with a majority in pre-K, and serves a predominantly Hispanic, economically disadvantaged student body. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
The school's academic profile is mixed and calls for careful attention from families considering enrollment. On the current state assessment (STAAR-Spanish), the most recent data available shows performance in the "Approaches" and "Meets" bands across all subjects combined. In math, students are performing well at the "Approaches" level. In English language arts, performance is lower, with fewer students reaching the higher proficiency bands. The school had reported science and social studies scores from 2023 for grade 8, but those results—from before the school's current grade configuration—showed proficiency rates below where the field generally expects, particularly in social studies. No state testing results are available for the current primary grades (K-2) the school now serves, as Texas does not assess students in those grades.
The school sits below the midpoint on overall proficiency compared with other schools and districts in Bexar County. A parent may want to look into this further with KIPP SOMOS directly, asking about the school's approach to early literacy and numeracy, its use of Spanish-language instruction materials and assessment, and what student support services are available for families.
The school is part of KIPP Texas, which has experienced significant recent changes. In December 2025, KIPP Texas voted to close seven campuses across Austin and San Antonio beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, citing multi-year enrollment declines and financial pressure. KIPP SOMOS PRI is not among the schools being closed. However, the parent-facing stability of the broader network is worth considering, particularly if you are relocating to the area. The district's overall accountability rating did improve notably from 2023 to 2025, suggesting the network is working to strengthen academic outcomes.
San Antonio itself is a fast-growing city anchored by healthcare, military, and emerging technology sectors. The North Central zip code where the school is located has median home values and rents reflecting typical suburban San Antonio patterns. The city is car-dependent, though downtown and the River Walk district offer walkability and cultural amenities. The broader metro has been adding residents rapidly and building both market-rate and income-restricted housing.
Families enrolling at KIPP SOMOS should expect a small, early-childhood-focused school serving a high-poverty, predominantly Hispanic population. The Spanish-language assessment data is limited, and performance trends are unclear. The charter structure and KIPP's mission-driven model appeal to some families, but prospective parents should speak directly with the school about curriculum, instruction, staffing stability, and how the network's recent consolidation may affect operations or student services.
