Oak Crest Elementary

Oak Crest Elementary sits in the quieter, more rural-feeling eastern edge of San Antonio, where Bexar County starts to open up into wide lots and a slower pace of life — a good fit for families who want a tight-knit school community away from the bustle of the city's core. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a relative strength, and it's part of East Central ISD, a district that tends to draw families who value that small-town feel without fully leaving the San Antonio metro behind. Families who prioritize a close community and don't mind putting in some extra support at home for English and reading skills will likely feel at home here.
