Summary

Great Hearts Online - Tx in San Antonio, TX, is a tuition-free, fully online public charter school serving 968 students in grades K-10, offering a flexible alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar schools in the area.

This school presents a clear academic split: it consistently performs above the state average in Reading, with 4th graders reaching 64.95% proficiency compared to the state's 53.73% in the 2024-2025 school year. However, it struggles significantly in Mathematics, where scores often fall 20 to 28 points below the state average. For example, 8th grade Math proficiency was just 19.48% versus the state's 47.24%. The school also faces major challenges with student retention, as its dropout rate spiked to 7.1% in 2023-2024—over three times higher than the Great Hearts Texas district average of 2.0%. This is a stark contrast to sister campuses like Great Hearts Northern Oaks, which boasts a 0.3% dropout rate and far stronger math scores. The online model also results in a high student-to-teacher ratio of 28.4:1, much larger than the 18.3:1 ratio at Great Hearts Forest Heights.

Compared to other nearby alternative schools, Great Hearts Online sits in a unique middle ground. It is not a disciplinary program like Reddix Center or Holmgreen Center, nor does it serve a 100% economically disadvantaged population like George Gervin Academy. While its Reading scores are a strength, a much smaller school like Compass Rose Opportunity (95 students) achieved 100% proficiency in 8th Grade Reading. For parents, this data suggests that Great Hearts Online may work best for a self-motivated student who excels in reading but will need significant external support in math, and that the online format carries a higher risk of disengagement and dropout compared to traditional schools.
