Original Research by School Decision on Davenport H S
Davenport High School is a regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve in San Antonio, on the north-central edge of Comal County, in a rapidly developing part of the region. The school enrolls students from across a modest geographic range, with a student body of mixed household income and varied ethnic and racial backgrounds: roughly equal shares of Hispanic and white students, with smaller populations of Black students, Asian students, and students identifying with two or more races. About one-third of the student body qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch.
The school's most recent state assessment results, from 2024-25, show a pattern of strength in science and social studies and relative softness in language arts and mathematics. Students across all grades approached or met proficiency in science at notably high rates; just over half met the grade-level standard in math, though nearly all approached it. In language arts, proficiency rates ran lower: just under two-thirds met the standard. The school shows much smaller shares of students achieving mastery in any subject. Across all subjects combined, about two-thirds of students met proficiency and nearly all approached it. A parent considering this school may want to look into the school's approach to math remediation and language arts instruction, both areas where the data shows room for improvement, and into what support systems exist for students working toward mastery.
Information on the school's specific program offerings, course breadth, graduation rate, attendance, discipline practices, and advanced or career-pathway options was not available in the data provided. The school's history, facilities, extracurriculars, and culture also fall outside what the available sources show.
The surrounding area reflects Comal County's rapid growth. San Antonio itself is among the fastest-growing U.S. cities, with major employers in healthcare, military, finance, and energy, and a growing technology sector. Home values in the San Antonio area have held relatively stable in recent years after modest declines. The area is car-dependent outside downtown, though San Antonio's River Walk and downtown core offer pedestrian amenities. Comal ISD, the school's parent district, has passed multiple bonds in recent years to fund new schools and relieve capacity pressure, with three new elementary schools and a new middle school authorized in 2023 and two elementary schools and a new middle school having opened within the past two years. The district's boundaries have shifted repeatedly to accommodate growth; families should confirm their assigned campus, as attendance zones continue to change.
