Summary

Austin Achieve High School is a public charter school in Austin, TX, serving 581 students in grades 9-12, and is the sole school within the Austin Achieve Public Schools district. The school serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and has a graduation rate of 92%.

Austin Achieve shows a striking contrast in academic performance. Its most critical weakness is in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have been persistently low—just 7.14% in the most recent year and even 0% in 2022-2023. This is far below nearby schools like Idea Rundberg College Preparatory (51.59% proficiency) and The East Austin College Prep At Mlk (57.89% proficiency). However, the school excels in Biology, with proficiency jumping to 57.42%, outperforming Northeast Early College High School (38.69%) and Lbj Early College High School (53.07%). Additionally, Austin Achieve ranks in the 63rd percentile statewide for supporting English Language Learners, a notable strength compared to its overall low ranking.

Comparing Austin Achieve to Idea Rundberg College Preparatory—another charter serving a similar high-poverty population—reveals that Idea Rundberg ranks in the 78th percentile statewide and achieves proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points higher in core subjects. This suggests that Austin Achieve’s challenges are not solely due to demographics but may stem from school-specific strategies. The school’s success in Biology and with ELL students shows it has the capacity for effective instruction, making the Algebra I crisis a clear priority for improvement. For parents, this school offers strong science and ELL support but requires urgent attention to math readiness.
