Summary

Doral Academy Of Texas is a public charter school in Buda, TX, serving 392 students in grades PK through 8 as a single-school district, offering a unique Pre-K through 8th grade model that no other nearby elementary school provides. This school stands out for its strong middle school reading performance and exceptional results on high school-level End-of-Course (EOC) exams, where 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I and Biology were proficient—nearly double the state average for Algebra I. However, the school has seen a declining overall ranking, dropping from a 4-star rating (74th percentile) in 2023-2024 to a 3-star rating (57th percentile) in 2025-2026, which contrasts with nearby high-performing schools like Elm Grove Elementary (consistently in the 92nd-93rd percentile) and Carpenter Hill Elementary (88th percentile).

Doral Academy shows a clear split in academic performance: elementary grades (3-5) generally underperform state averages in reading and math, but starting in 6th grade, reading proficiency surpasses state levels, and by 7th and 8th grade, it becomes a clear strength. For example, 8th-grade reading proficiency (73.68%) and 7th-grade reading proficiency (60.98%) significantly outperformed state averages. However, middle school math proficiency takes a sharp dip, with 7th-grade math at just 20% (vs. 29.41% state), suggesting that while a select group of students is accelerated into high school coursework, the majority struggle with grade-level math. The school serves a moderately high-needs population, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it has historically served its Special Education and English Language Learner students well, earning 4-star ratings for these groups.

Compared to nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Ralph Pfluger Elementary and Buda Elementary, Doral Academy's elementary scores are generally on par or slightly below. For instance, in 3rd-grade math, Doral (51.43%) outperformed Pfluger (41.27%) but was below Buda (59.18%). The school significantly outperforms struggling schools like Science Hall Elementary (21st percentile) and Wayside Altamira Academy (12th percentile), which have higher poverty rates. A notable weakness is the underperformance of the Gifted and Talented program, which earned only a 2-star rating in recent years, suggesting the school may not adequately challenge its highest-achieving students despite strong EOC results for a select few.
