Summary

Wayside Altamira Academy is a public charter elementary school in Austin, TX, serving 354 students in grades PK-5, with about 77% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it is part of the Wayside Schools district.

This school shows extreme volatility in test scores, with dramatic year-over-year swings that suggest a lack of stable, long-term instructional strategies. For example, 3rd-grade reading proficiency jumped from 19% to 59% and then dropped to 39% over three years. Mathematics performance is critically low, with only 20% of 3rd graders and 24% of 5th graders proficient in math—roughly half the state average and significantly lower than nearby high-poverty schools like Blazier Elementary (45-56% proficient). The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 23.7, much larger than nearby Menchaca Elementary (12.8) or Casey Elementary (12.2).

Despite being a charter school, which typically implies autonomy and innovation, Wayside Altamira performs on par with the lowest-performing traditional public schools in the area, such as Langford Elementary (9th percentile). The school's district, Wayside Schools, ranks in the bottom 17th percentile statewide, while nearby Austin Independent School District (Isd) schools rank in the 45th percentile, suggesting systemic support may be a limiting factor. Additionally, 5th-grade science scores are critically low at just 5.26% proficient, which is 24 points below the state average and the lowest among all nearby schools, posing a major disadvantage for students entering middle school.
