Summary:
Doral Academy Of Texas is a single public charter school in Buda, TX, serving grades PK through 8 with 392 students and operating as its own independent school district, Doral Academy Of Texas.
This school presents a fascinating split in performance. In elementary grades (3-5), students excel in Math, outperforming the state by 4-7 percentage points, but struggle in Reading, falling 2-8 points behind. The pattern flips in middle school (6-8), where Reading scores soar—8th graders hit 73.68% proficiency, nearly 15 points above the state—while Math scores drop significantly, with 7th grade at just 20% proficiency. The most dramatic finding is in advanced coursework: 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I and Biology End-of-Course exams scored proficient, a massive 46-point and 29-point advantage over state averages, respectively. This suggests the school is exceptionally effective at preparing top-tier students for high-school-level work, even as general middle school math remains a challenge.
Overall, the school holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 57th percentile among Texas elementary schools, down from a 4-star, 74th percentile ranking in 2023-2024. The student-teacher ratio is 19:1, and 50.77% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The 8th grade cohort shows significant year-over-year improvement from a very weak 2024-2025 class, but still lags in Social Studies (23.68% proficient) and general Math (44.83%). This is a school of extremes—producing both top-tier advanced results and below-average standard scores—making it a unique option for families whose children may benefit from its advanced academic track.
