Summary

Harmony School Of Excellence - Austin is a public charter school in Austin, TX (78744) serving 497 students in grades 6 through 12, with over 90% of students from low socio-economic backgrounds. This school stands out for its exceptional ability to keep students on track to graduation, boasting a 0.0% dropout rate and a 94.3% graduation rate—far better than nearby Travis Early College High School, which has a 9.4% dropout rate. However, overall academic proficiency on state tests is below state averages, with a notable bright spot in U.S. History, where 70.18% of students are proficient, matching the state average and outperforming Crockett Early College High School (60.13%) and Travis Early College High (38.56%).

The school excels in specific areas, particularly for its Gifted and Talented (GT) students, who rank in the 99th percentile statewide—a top-tier performance that no nearby school matches. It also provides strong support for English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 69th percentile. Yet, this success contrasts with struggles in core subjects like 7th-grade Mathematics, where only 4.08% of students are proficient versus the state average of 29.41%. Compared to KIPP Austin Brave, which serves a similar demographic, Harmony outperforms in Algebra I (45.74% vs. 4%) and English I (37.76% vs. 24.41%), but KIPP Brave leads in Biology (77.61% vs. 64.38%).

Part of the Harmony Public Schools - Central Texas district, the school offers a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.2:1, fostering a supportive environment that keeps students in school. However, its overall state ranking has declined from a peak in 2018-2019 to a 2-star rating (32nd percentile) for 2025-2026. While it provides a stable path to graduation, the school’s main challenge is translating its strong support systems into consistent academic proficiency across all subjects and student groups.
