Summary

Nyos Lamar Secondary in Austin, TX, is a high-performing charter school serving 809 students in grades 6 through 12, part of the Nyos Charter School district, and stands out as an academic oasis in an area where many nearby traditional public schools struggle.

The school’s most impressive strength is its exceptional performance in English Language Arts (ELA). In recent testing, proficiency rates in English I (73.6%) and English II (80.6%) far surpass those at nearby schools like John B Connally High School (32% and 43%) and Navarro Early College High School (24% and 29%). This success is supported by a very favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, which is lower than most comparable schools and allows for more individualized attention. However, the school has a notable weakness in middle school mathematics, particularly in 7th grade, where proficiency rates have consistently fallen below the state average for the past four years—a challenge that parents should investigate.

Nyos Lamar also excels in supporting specific student groups, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide for Special Education students and performing exceptionally well with its Multi-racial student population. While the school serves a lower-poverty population (30% economically disadvantaged) compared to many surrounding schools, its consistent high state ranking (82nd percentile) and sustained 4-star rating over the past decade demonstrate a reliable track record of quality. For families in the area, this school offers a starkly different educational experience from the struggling traditional public schools nearby, making it a compelling option for those prioritizing strong ELA instruction and a supportive learning environment.

Open Quote Wonderful school. Teachers work hard and find ways to present curriculum in engaging ways for students. There are many hands on learning experiences and opportunities to experience new things from different perspectives and to explore new learning styles. Students are held to high expectations of responsibility and respect in themselves, their learning environment, their peers and their teachers. The TAKS test scores are consistently high, and there is always a large percentage of students who achieve commended scores. Overall, a very solid school. Close Quote
