Summary

Harmony Science Academy - Brownsville is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-7 in Brownsville, Texas, with 512 students. The school faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Math compared to the state and district averages, particularly for certain student subgroups like male students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs.

Despite higher spending per student at Harmony Science Academy - Brownsville, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below the state and Brownsville Independent School District (Isd) averages. When compared to nearby public schools in the Brownsville Independent School District, such as Sharp Elementary and Martin Elementary, Harmony Science Academy - Brownsville generally underperforms. The school's performance is also lower than other charter schools in the area, like Idea Riverview Academy and Bryss Academy, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better student group performance.

Additionally, the school has seen a slight increase in dropout rates over the past few years, reaching 0.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio has also increased, from 11.9 in 2021-2022 to 14.7 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the nearby Brownsville Independent School District schools and may be impacting the school's ability to provide personalized instruction. Addressing these issues will be crucial for Harmony Science Academy - Brownsville to improve educational outcomes for its students.
