About San Antonio Independent School District
San Antonio Independent School District is the public school district assigned to zip code 78220 in San Antonio, Texas. Serving students from Pre-K – 12th, this district is the primary public education system for families living in and around zip code 78220. The sections below cover the district’s resources, scale, rating, and everything families need to know about enrollment and school assignment.
Understanding the 2/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates San Antonio Independent School District 2 out of 10 — low-rated among Texas public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Texas’ STAAR grades 3–8 Reading & Math assessments (2023 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Texas is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
San Antonio Independent School District holds a low overall rating, with reading and math proficiency among the lowest in Texas on state assessments. Test results reflect many factors beyond the classroom, including community and economic conditions; a low score is a signal to research carefully, not a verdict on any individual school or teacher. Families in this area should research all available alternatives: inter-district transfers, charter schools, and magnet programs. Contact the district directly to understand exactly what programs are available at your assigned school.
Enrollment for Families in Zip Code 78220
Children in zip code 78220 are assigned to San Antonio Independent School District for public school enrollment, covering grades Pre-K – 12th. School assignments are address-specific — your elementary, middle, and high school placements depend on your exact street address within zip code 78220, not just your neighborhood. Two homes on opposite ends of the same zip code may be assigned to different schools within the same district.
To confirm your specific school assignments, contact San Antonio Independent School District at (210)554-2200 or visit www.saisd.net/. Typical enrollment documents include a signed lease or mortgage statement, birth certificate, state-required immunization documentation, and recent report cards or transcripts. If your child has an IEP or 504 plan, bring that documentation to enrollment — Texas districts are required to continue services within a reasonable period. Fall enrollment windows typically open in late winter or early spring; contact the district for exact dates and required steps.
School Districts and Home Values in San Antonio
Research consistently shows that district assignment affects residential property values. Because San Antonio Independent School District serves zip code 78220, buyers should factor school district quality into their overall evaluation of homes in zip code 78220. District boundaries are address-specific — verify the exact district assignment for any property you’re seriously considering rather than assuming based on the neighborhood. A single block can place two adjacent homes in different districts with different ratings and different annual property tax implications.
Use the property tax estimator on this page to calculate estimated annual tax obligations based on your target purchase price.

Understanding both district quality and the associated tax burden is essential financial due diligence before committing to any home in zip code 78220.
Data Sources and Accuracy
All district information on this page is sourced from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024–2025, the U.S. Department of Education’s annual census of all public school districts — the same dataset used by researchers, journalists, and policymakers to analyze American public education. District boundaries, school assignments, phone numbers, and per-pupil expenditure figures are updated annually when NCES publishes new data, typically in spring. Always verify your specific school assignment and enrollment requirements directly with San Antonio Independent School District before making any housing or enrollment decision based on zip code 78220 data.
