Wortham Oaks El, San Antonio TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Wortham Oaks El

Wortham Oaks Elementary serves pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in the northeast San Antonio area as part of Judson ISD. The school enrolls a student body that is majority Hispanic, with substantial representation from Black, white, and Asian families. About two-fifths of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment spans early-elementary grades in large numbers and tapers to a small sixth-grade cohort.

Academic performance shows mixed strength. In English language arts, the school sits in the top quartile among Bexar County district schools for overall proficiency across tested grades and subjects. Grade four performs strongest in ELA, with a majority meeting or exceeding grade-level standards. Grade three and grade six show slightly lower rates but still represent solid proficiency. Math performance is more uneven. Fourth graders perform above proficiency benchmarks, but fifth and sixth graders fall below, with fifth-grade math showing the most pronounced softness. Science results are notably low; the single tested grade, fifth, shows that a minority of students met proficiency standards.

The school's aggregate proficiency index positions it at a higher level than most county peers, reflecting stronger ELA outcomes offsetting weaker science results. Looking across Texas standards more broadly, about seven in ten students met or exceeded grade-level expectations across all subjects, though mastery rates are lower, suggesting students are reaching the proficiency bar but not consistently demonstrating advanced command of the material.

Sixth grade enrollment is quite small, which may reflect either the natural grade configuration of the school or the transition of most students to middle school settings at that point. This small sixth-grade presence is worth noting for parents considering the full elementary pathway.

The neighborhood where Wortham Oaks sits is part of San Antonio's rapid growth corridor. Housing values in the surrounding zip code are moderately above the Texas state average, and rents have remained relatively stable. The area is part of a metro that added residents faster than nearly any other U.S. city in recent years, with significant new construction in suburban subdivisions nearby.

For families seeking a school where reading and writing instruction produce clear results and where the peer environment reflects the ethnic diversity of greater San Antonio, Wortham Oaks delivers. Parents of students who will need extra support in upper-elementary math or science may want to inquire with the school about available intervention pathways. The school's position in the top proficiency tier within the county suggests it serves its community well, though strength is concentrated in language arts rather than spread evenly across subjects.

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.
