Langley El, San Antonio TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Langley El

Langley El is a prekindergarten-through-fifth-grade school in the San Antonio area, part of Northside ISD, located on the city's north side in the zip code 78253. The school serves a student body of modest size for an elementary school, with roughly even distributions across its grade span; about a third of families qualify for federal free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a mixed-income enrollment.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with substantial representation from Asian, white, and Black families, as well as a small multiracial population. The school's demographic profile reflects San Antonio's broader composition. Specific counts for English learners and students in special education were not available.

On the most recent state testing data available, Langley El's proficiency results show considerable variation by grade and subject. In English language arts, fifth graders performed notably better, reaching proficiency rates above the midpoint, while third and fourth graders tested at lower levels. Grade three results may reflect a smaller tested population and the use of Spanish-language assessment; a parent may want to clarify with the school what assessment pathways exist for multilingual learners. Math proficiency in grades four and five sits around the midline, while grade three again shows lower attainment. A fifth-grade science cohort was tested but results were not reported, likely due to a very small group size.

Looking across all subjects school-wide, the majority of students met or exceeded the "approaches" performance level, suggesting foundational skills are broadly in place. However, only about a quarter of students reached the "master" level across all subjects combined, and proficiency in social studies lags behind math and reading. When compared to other elementary schools in Bexar County, Langley El's overall proficiency index sits above the midpoint, placing it in the upper half of the county's tested schools.

The school draws from a neighborhood undergoing active suburban growth. Home values in the 78253 zip code are moderate, and rental rates are similarly accessible. The broader San Antonio area has been among the nation's fastest-growing metros, with new construction concentrated in outer suburban areas including the north side where Langley is located. This context shapes both the families moving into the school and the community's economic trajectory.

The school is a regular public school with no magnet or charter designation. It offers the standard grade-band curriculum, though specific course offerings, enrichment programs, staffing profiles, and other school-level details were not provided in the available data. A parent considering Langley El would benefit from direct conversation with the school about its approach to literacy instruction, math support, how it serves learners at different proficiency levels, and what resources exist for families new to the area.

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.
