Ward Elementary

Ward Elementary sits in the fast-growing far northwest corner of San Antonio, where new subdivisions and young families have been putting down roots at a steady clip. The school holds its own academically, with English as a particular strength, and feels like a solid neighborhood fit for families looking for a comfortable community school in a part of the city that still has that new-development energy. Northside ISD is one of the largest and most established districts in Texas, so there's a lot of infrastructure and programming backing up what happens in the classroom here.
