Elementary Schools in Austin Discovery School

Austin Discovery School is the only elementary school located in the Austin Discovery School district. This public charter school serves grades K-6 and has an enrollment of 261 students. While the school has a small student-teacher ratio of 11.1, it appears to be struggling academically, with declining statewide rankings and mixed performance on standardized tests compared to the state average.

The Austin Discovery School is ranked 769 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 2483 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 3399 out of 4651 in 2024-2025. While the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency is above the state average, its 4th and 5th grade reading proficiency, as well as its math and science proficiency across all grades, are significantly below the state average.

Despite the school's low free/reduced lunch rate of 2.68%, indicating it may serve a more affluent student population, the academic challenges persist. The school's spending per student of $8,921 for the 2020-2021 school year is relatively low compared to the state average, which may be a contributing factor to the academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that the Austin Discovery School district is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
