El Dorado Elementary

El Dorado Elementary sits in the northeastern corner of San Antonio, a sprawling, family-friendly part of the city where subdivisions mix with strip malls and there's a real sense of working-class community pride. The school serves a neighborhood where many families are putting down roots and looking for stability, and while test scores currently land in the mid-range, science is a relative bright spot worth watching. Families who are engaged and looking to be active partners in their child's education — rather than simply relying on the school to do the heavy lifting — tend to get the most out of what El Dorado has to offer.
