IDEA Parmer Park Academy

IDEA Parmer Park Academy sits in northeast Austin, a part of the city that's grown quickly and is home to a mix of working families, longtime residents, and newer arrivals navigating Austin's rapid changes. The school's science scores are a genuine bright spot, landing well above average statewide, which could appeal to families hoping to build a strong foundation in STEM from an early age.
