Huppertz El, San Antonio TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Huppertz El

Huppertz Elementary is a charter school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the northwest part of San Antonio. The school is small, with an enrollment spread across all grades, and operates in a neighborhood where housing values are moderate and rents are steady.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic, and a very substantial majority of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This is a school serving high-need populations in a working-class area. The economic context of the neighborhood reflects broader San Antonio dynamics: the city has grown rapidly in recent years, and while downtown and suburban areas have seen new development, inner neighborhoods like this one have experienced steadier, older housing stock.

On state testing, Huppertz shows weaker proficiency results across both math and English language arts in the grades tested. In third and fourth grade, proficiency in both math and reading sits in the lower range. Performance picks up in fifth grade, where reading proficiency reaches about half of students meeting the proficiency bar, while math proficiency is notably higher as well. In science, fifth-grade results show no students meeting the proficiency standard. Across all tested grades and subjects, the school's overall proficiency sits in the bottom quartile when compared to other schools in Bexar County. A parent may want to look into this further with the school to understand the instructional supports in place and the school's plan to strengthen academic outcomes, particularly in elementary math and science.

The school is part of San Antonio ISD, which has undergone substantial changes. The district closed a significant number of schools in response to long-term enrollment declines and has since moved to standardize curriculum across campuses, emphasizing phonics-based reading instruction and aligned mathematics. A major bond approved in 2020 is funding facility improvements across many district campuses. For families in this neighborhood, Huppertz represents a charter option within the broader district context, and they should weigh both the school's current academic standing and the district's ongoing efforts to strengthen instruction.

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.
