Austin Achieve Public Schools, TX

Original Research by School Decision on Austin Achieve Public Schools

Austin Achieve Public Schools is a small charter district serving kindergarten through twelfth grade across multiple campuses in Travis County. The district enrolls students from a very young age in pre-kindergarten through high school, with its schools located in Austin and Pflugerville. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a smaller representation of Black students and other groups.

The district's academic performance shows persistent challenges across tested subjects. In English language arts, proficiency rates range from the low end in elementary grades (around one-third of students proficient in fourth and fifth grade) to somewhat higher rates in sixth through eighth grade (roughly one-third to two-fifths proficient). Math proficiency is notably weaker, with rates ranging from very low in fourth and fifth grade through low double digits in middle grades. Science proficiency is particularly low; only a small fraction of fifth graders met standards, though eighth grade science shows more meaningful proficiency. Social studies proficiency in eighth grade was also quite low. Across all tested subjects combined, the district reports that roughly one-third of students met or exceeded standards, with another one-third approaching proficiency.

When placed among the county's other districts, Austin Achieve's overall proficiency index falls below the midpoint. Chronic absenteeism is slightly above the typical county rate. The district's per-pupil spending sits in the upper range for Travis County, a detail parents may want to understand more fully in relation to outcomes.

A significant shift for families in the region came with the opening of a permanent Pflugerville campus, a substantial facility completed in 2023. This expansion moved the district beyond its original Austin footprint and created a tuition-free, open-enrollment charter option in Pflugerville, making the district accessible to a broader geographic area.

The district operates five schools: two elementary campuses in Austin, one in Pflugerville, a middle school, and a high school. State testing data for kindergarten through second grade was not available, as those grades are not assessed under Texas's state testing program. Graduation rates and free-or-reduced-price-lunch eligibility data were not available in the provided information. A parent may want to look into those metrics directly with the district, as well as English learner population figures, given the student composition.
