Original Research by School Decision on Las Palmas El
Las Palmas Elementary is closed and no longer operating. The school was a regular public elementary school in the Edgewood Independent School District serving San Antonio's south side.
The school's most recent academic data comes from the 2022-23 school year, when it administered state assessments in math, English language arts, and science to a small cohort of fifth graders. Proficiency rates were low across all three subjects. In math, a small share of the students tested met the state's proficiency standard. English language arts showed slightly higher performance, though still well below state benchmarks. Science proficiency was the lowest of the three subjects. These results reflect the challenges many high-poverty, under-resourced schools in the district faced during that period.
Enrollment and demographic data for the school were not available in the records reviewed. The broader context matters here: Edgewood ISD, which served Las Palmas, is a historically under-resourced district on San Antonio's south side. In 2023, facing enrollment declines driven by demographic shifts and charter-school competition, the district launched a major redesign process. This resulted in the closure of two campuses, including Las Palmas. By 2024-25, the district was operating roughly 20 schools. That restructuring reflected the district's effort to right-size its footprint and redirect resources.
The district has attempted to differentiate its remaining schools through "Schools of Innovation" choice models, including single-gender leadership programs and two-way dual language academies, to give families specialized options and compete with charter alternatives. However, seven district campuses, including some of the remaining elementary and middle schools, were required to implement state-approved turnaround plans after low ratings in 2024-25. In March 2026, the board also approved a partnership with Third Future Schools charter network to operate Brentwood Middle School, marking a significant operational and governance shift.
For families who were connected to Las Palmas at the time of closure, students were absorbed into other district elementary schools. Anyone seeking to understand Edgewood ISD's current elementary options should explore the district's remaining schools and its Schools of Innovation programs.
