Summary

Harmony Science Academy - Austin is a public charter school in Austin, TX (78753) serving 754 students in Pre-K through 8th grade, part of the Harmony Public Schools - Central Texas district.

This school faces severe academic challenges, with STAAR test scores far below both district and state averages. For example, only 16.9% of 5th graders were proficient in reading and just 8.45% in math, compared to 63.5% and 60.3% in the district. This underperformance is not explained by student demographics alone—nearby schools like Guerrero Thompson serve similar populations but achieve much higher results (76.47% reading proficiency). The school has been in a steady decline, ranking in the bottom 2% of Texas elementary schools in recent years. A notable exception is 8th-grade math, where 64.79% of students were proficient, exceeding state averages, likely due to a focused Algebra I program. The school also shows relative strength in serving Special Education students, ranking in the 57th percentile statewide.

The school operates with a leaner budget (about $9,600 per student) and a higher student-teacher ratio (16:1) than nearby Austin Independent School District (Isd) schools, which may contribute to its struggles. While middle school grades show slightly better performance than elementary grades, the overall picture is one of systemic underperformance. Parents considering this school should be aware that most students are not meeting grade-level standards, and the school's trajectory has been declining for years.
