Alonso S Perales Elementary

Perales Elementary sits in the heart of the West Side of San Antonio, one of the city's most historically rooted neighborhoods with deep ties to Mexican-American culture and community identity. The school serves a tight-knit area where families tend to be deeply invested in their local schools, and while test scores reflect some of the broader challenges facing the Edgewood district, there's a strong sense of place and belonging here that numbers don't capture. Families who value a close community connection and want their kids to grow up rooted in the culture and history of San Antonio's West Side will find something genuine here.
