Summary

Idea Health Professions Academy is a K-5 elementary school in Austin, TX (78721) serving 294 students, and it is part of the Idea Public Schools district.

While the school’s overall state ranking is in the bottom quartile (23rd percentile), it stands out as a relatively stronger option within a very low-performing cluster of nearby schools. For example, it outperforms Govalle Elementary, Oak Springs Elementary, and Pecan Springs Elementary, all of which rank in the bottom 1% of Texas elementary schools. A key strength is its performance for African American students, where it earns 3 stars and ranks in the 60th percentile statewide. However, the school has a high student-teacher ratio of 19.7:1, nearly double that of nearby Ortega Elementary (8.5:1), which is a notable outlier in the area, jumping to the 56th percentile in 2025-2026 with strong test scores.

Academically, the school shows a clear weakness in Math and Science, with 5th-grade Science proficiency at just 16.28% in 2024-2025, while Reading scores show a slight upward trend. Support for Special Education students has been volatile, swinging from a high of the 77th percentile in 2023-2024 to a low of the 12th percentile in 2025-2026. Despite these challenges, the school has improved for two consecutive years after a low point in 2023-2024, and its per-student spending of $13,905 is higher than nearby charters like KIPP Alegria Pri ($10,001) but lower than most Austin Independent School District (Isd) schools in the area.
