Wright El, San Antonio TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Wright El

Wright Elementary is a public school serving prekindergarten through fifth grade in San Antonio's Harlandale Independent School District. The school sits in a densely Hispanic neighborhood; nearly all of its students are Hispanic, and most qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a low-income community. The enrollment is stable and moderate in size for an elementary school.

State test results show areas of concern that warrant attention. In reading, the school's proficiency rates range from about a third of fifth graders meeting the standard to under a third in third grade. Math results are weaker, with proficiency ranging from just under a quarter of fourth graders to effectively none among the small cohorts tested in third and fifth grade on the Spanish-language assessment. Only a handful of students performed at the highest level (Master) across both subjects. Science proficiency for fifth graders tested was also zero. When results are aggregated across all tested grades and subjects, Wright sits in the bottom quartile of schools across Bexar County for overall proficiency.

The school does show stronger performance in reading among a small subset of fourth graders tested on the Spanish-language assessment, where proficiency reached about three-fifths, suggesting that some students and possibly some instructional pathways are working, though sample sizes are small enough that these results reflect specific cohorts rather than school-wide trends. Reading approaches (students working toward proficiency) are higher than meets and masters levels across the school, indicating many students are developing skills but have not yet met grade-level standards.

A parent considering Wright should understand that academic attainment here is low, and test scores show a student population facing real learning gaps. The school serves a community with substantial economic hardship and likely includes many English learners, though the data does not specify the proportion. This is a setting where families should engage directly with the school about their child's reading and math instruction, assessment outcomes, and what additional supports or interventions are in place. The pattern of proficiency across grade levels and languages suggests the school is working with diverse learner needs, but sustained improvement in foundational skills would be a legitimate area to explore with school leadership.

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.
