Allen Elementary

Allen Elementary sits in the westside San Antonio community of 78227, a working-class neighborhood with deep roots and a strong sense of local pride. The school faces some academic headwinds, particularly in science, but families in the area tend to value the tight-knit community feel that comes with a neighborhood school where staff and families often know each other well. For families considering the area, Northside ISD's broader network of magnet and choice programs may be worth exploring as kids move into the upper grades.
