Original Research by School Decision on Harmony Science Academy-pflugerville

Harmony Science Academy-Pflugerville is a charter school serving grades six through twelve in Pflugerville, part of Harmony Public Schools Central Texas. The school enrolls around eight hundred students and operates in a community where housing values have been moderating and a substantial share of the student body qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch.

The student population is diverse: a plurality identifies as Hispanic, with meaningful shares of white students, Asian students, and Black students. The school's enrollment spans middle and high school grades, though state testing results are available only through eighth grade.

Academic performance shows uneven results across grades and subjects. In the middle grades, students perform better in English language arts than in mathematics. Seventh-grade math proficiency falls notably below other grade levels, a soft spot worth examining with the school. Eighth-grade performance is stronger and more consistent across subjects, with English language arts and mathematics proficiency near the same level, and science proficiency in the same range. Social studies proficiency in eighth grade is lower than other tested subjects. Sixth-grade students show comparable performance in English language arts and mathematics. Overall, the school's proficiency index places it in the top quartile among districts in Travis County, though the student population includes a high proportion of economically disadvantaged learners.

The data does not include high school graduation rates, four-year cohort outcomes, chronic absenteeism, or discipline records. Program offerings, course access, staffing levels, and attendance data were also not available, so a full picture of what this school offers in its high school grades and how it supports students beyond core academics remains unclear. A parent may want to contact the school directly to learn about its magnet or specialized focus, career pathways, AP or dual-credit options, and other supports that shape the day-to-day experience for students in grades nine through twelve.

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
