Draw Academy, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Draw Academy

DRAW Academy is a small school district serving pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in Harris County, Texas. The district operates a single campus and enrolls students across those ten grades, with the largest cohorts in the earliest grades and smaller numbers in middle school.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic, reflecting the composition of the broader Harris County area. Enrollment data does not break out counts for free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education identification, or English learner status, so the full economic and linguistic profile of the student population is not available from the sources provided. The district's chronic absenteeism rate ranks well within Harris County, positioning it in the top tier among county districts on that metric.

Academic performance presents a mixed picture across subjects and grade levels. In English language arts, proficiency strengthens in the middle grades, with seventh graders showing notably higher rates than students in grades four through six. Fourth-grade reading results fall below the state average, according to publicly reported data. Math proficiency trends lower overall, staying well below state benchmarks across elementary and middle grades, with a meaningful jump only in eighth grade. Science and social studies proficiency are substantially weaker; science proficiency in fifth grade is very low, and social studies proficiency in eighth grade is minimal. The district's overall proficiency index across all tested subjects and grades places it in the bottom quartile among Harris County's districts.

The district received a D accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency for the 2024-2025 school year, marking the first public rating release after a span of litigation-induced delays in Texas accountability reporting. This rating gives families a current state-assigned grade alongside the detailed STAAR results.

A substantial share of the district's spending per pupil sits in the upper range for Harris County, suggesting resources are invested in the schools, though results to date have not aligned with that spending level. The district operates a dual-language program as an established feature of its offering.

Parents considering this district may want to look further into the specific academic supports and instructional approaches in place, particularly in math and science where performance lags significantly. The visible divergence between spending and achievement outcomes is a question worth exploring directly with school leadership.
