IDEA Brackenridge Academy

IDEA Brackenridge Academy sits on the south side of San Antonio, a part of the city with deep roots and a tight-knit, working-class character. The school shows some real bright spots — particularly in science, where it outperforms a solid chunk of Texas schools — though math and English scores suggest families should plan to stay involved with homework and supplemental support. It's a reasonable option for families in the area who want a charter school structure with the backing of the IDEA network behind it.
