Summary

Great Hearts Invictus is a public charter school in Helotes, TX, serving 918 students in grades K-9 as part of the high-performing Great Hearts Texas district, which is ranked in the 77th percentile statewide.

This school’s standout strength is exceptional reading proficiency, with 7th graders scoring 74% proficient—a 20-point lead over the state average—and 8th graders achieving 81% proficient, outpacing the state by 25 points. However, math performance is inconsistent, with notable challenges in 4th grade (25% proficient) and 6th grade (29% proficient), while 7th grade math excels at 65%. The school also boasts a very low dropout rate of 1.8%, indicating strong student retention. Compared to nearby Great Hearts Western Hills, Invictus has a lower poverty rate and generally higher reading scores, but Western Hills outperforms in U.S. History and Biology. Against Great Hearts Forest Heights, Invictus leads in reading but has a higher student-teacher ratio (22:1 vs. 18:1) and less consistent math scores, especially in lower grades.

Science is a bright spot, with 8th grade scores rising to 61% proficient, well above the state average. However, high school-level End of Course exams reveal a gap: English I and II scores, while strong, trail the district average, and U.S. History is a significant weakness at 44% proficient. The school’s closest neighbor, Anne Frank Inspire Academy, has much lower test scores and a lower district ranking, making Invictus a clear academic standout in its immediate area. Overall, Great Hearts Invictus offers a literacy-focused education with strong reading outcomes, but families should be aware of math volatility and social studies challenges as the school expands to higher grades.
