The Lawson Academy

The Lawson Academy is a charter school in Houston's Midtown-adjacent 77004 zip code, a diverse and fast-changing part of the city close to museums, universities, and some of Houston's most storied neighborhoods. The school's science scores stand out as a real strength, which may appeal to families hoping to build a foundation in STEM early on, though math and English scores suggest there's room for growth across the board. Families who are engaged and looking for a smaller, independent school environment in an area rich with cultural resources might find it worth a closer look.
