Murnin Elementary

Murnin Elementary sits in the far west reaches of San Antonio, in a sprawling suburban corridor where newer subdivisions meet military-connected families from nearby Lackland AFB. The school serves a community that's still finding its footing academically, with test scores that trail the state median across English, math, and science — so families who prioritize strong classroom performance may want to dig into the school's specific programs and teacher tenure before committing. That said, the surrounding 78251 zip code has a tight-knit, working-class energy, and families rooted in the neighborhood often appreciate the familiar faces and community feel that a school like Murnin can offer.
