Popham Elementary

Popham Elementary serves the Del Valle community just southeast of Austin, an area that's grown quickly as the city has expanded but still holds onto its tight-knit, working-class roots. Families here are deeply community-oriented, and the school reflects that spirit, even as it works to close academic gaps in English, math, and science that place it below state averages. It may be a better fit for families who prioritize involvement and community connection over top-tier test scores, and who appreciate being close to Austin's opportunities without paying Austin prices.
