Somerset Academy Oaks, San Antonio TX

Original Research by School Decision on Somerset Academy Oaks

Somerset Academy Oaks is a charter school serving kindergarten through sixth grade in San Antonio's northeast corridor, on Babcock Road. It operates as part of Somerset Academies of Texas, a charter network in the city.

The school enrolls a small population and draws a diverse student body. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The racial composition includes a majority Hispanic enrollment, along with meaningful shares of white, Asian, and Black students.

On state math assessments, the school shows a clear grade-level pattern. Third and fourth graders post moderate proficiency, while proficiency drops noticeably in fifth grade and falls sharply in sixth grade. In reading, performance is somewhat stronger overall: third and fourth graders show solid results, fifth grade is notably the highest-performing grade, and sixth grade dips somewhat. Science results, available only for fifth grade, are low. Across all subjects at the "meets" performance level (the state's grade of "proficient"), the school sits at roughly half. When looking at the "approaches" level, which captures all students making at least minimal progress, results are higher across the board. The pattern suggests the school is getting students to show some progress but faces challenges in moving them to full proficiency, particularly in math and as students move into the upper elementary grades.

Compared to other districts in Bexar County, Somerset Academy Oaks's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile among the county's tested schools. This is a meaningful position: the school is outperforming the median district in the county, even as individual grade-level results suggest uneven mastery and particular softness in upper grades.

The broader San Antonio context shapes the school's environment. The city is one of the fastest-growing in the nation, with significant ongoing residential and commercial development. The northeast area where the school sits, including neighborhoods like Stone Oak and the surrounding suburbs, has seen substantial new construction. Housing values in the school's zip code are moderate relative to state and national benchmarks, and rents are also modest. The local economy is anchored by healthcare, military, finance, and a growing technology sector. The city has a well-established transit system and downtown anchors, though most of the metropolitan area remains car-dependent.

Somerset Academy Oaks offers a traditional elementary program without reported specialized magnet or alternative pathways. No data on staff, special education enrollment, English learner support, attendance, discipline, or course breadth was available. A parent or resident interested in understanding the school's full program offerings, support systems for students with learning differences, or specific pedagogical approach would want to contact the school directly.

This schoolSOMERSET ACADEMIES OF TEXAS, same grade

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.
