Original Research by School Decision on Somerset Academy Lone Star
Somerset Academy Lone Star is a small charter school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in San Antonio. The school enrolls a mix of ages across its grade band, with a majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting an economically disadvantaged student population. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller numbers of white and multiracial students and very few Black students.
The school's academic performance shows a mixed picture across tested grades. In fourth and fifth grade math, proficiency rates are solid and increase with grade level. Fourth graders show moderate proficiency, while fifth graders demonstrate stronger performance in both math and reading. However, fifth grade science proficiency is notably lower, suggesting that area may be a learning challenge for the school. A few grade-level and subject combinations have too few students for results to be reported, which is typical for a school this size; these appear concentrated in third grade and in some Spanish-language assessment groups.
Across all tested subjects and grades, the school's proficiency index places it in the top quartile among Bexar County districts, a meaningful position. Reading and math proficiency rates are comparable, with about three-quarters of students meeting the approaches level, slightly above half meeting the meets level, and roughly one-quarter to one-third mastering content. Social studies is a relative weakness, with a lower share of students at the meets or master levels.
Somerset Academy Lone Star is located in the 78216 zip code area of San Antonio. Housing values in that area are modest compared to state and national medians, and median rents are also below the national benchmark. The broader San Antonio region has been one of the nation's fastest-growing cities, with significant new residential development, though the housing data for this specific zip code shows a slight year-over-year decline in median home values and rents. San Antonio's economy is anchored by healthcare, military installations, finance, and growing technology sectors, which shapes the job landscape for families in the region.
No trend data across multiple years is available, so it is not possible to assess whether the school is improving, holding steady, or declining. State testing data for all grades and subjects was either not available or did not meet reporting thresholds. No data was provided on graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, special education enrollment, English learner populations, staffing, or school discipline. These gaps reflect either the limitations of the school's grade band (which does not serve high school) or missing reporting from the state or school. A parent interested in the full picture of what the school offers in terms of enrichment, specials, or support services would want to visit the school directly or contact it for details not captured here.
