IDEA Health Professions Academy

First and foremost, the state test score data is incorrect. Govalle staff, parents and students worked so diligently to help students raise their academic standardized test scores, even though we understand the focus on tests should never be a school's #1 priority. In fact, Govalle out performed or was on par with all the area local charter schools (East Austin prep, UT Elementary, IDEA, KIPP) , even though Govalle serves 3x as many kiddos with special education needs. In the midst of that kind of pressure, Govalle manages to provide fine arts experiences for all kids, including musical performances and art exhibitions for each grade level, in addition to collaborations with Paramount Theatre and the UT Shakespeare outreach program. Govalle provides trauma-informed care for all students, and includes a junior counselor program. We have a dual-language program pilot for Prek-1st (next year includes 2nd grade) because they believe multilingualism can benefit students in the global economy and as compassionate citizens of the world. Govalle continues to build on STEM educational experiences with Engineering is Elementary curriculum, STEM building challenges, Science Fair and collaborations with the Thinkery. They provide field experiences in both the fine arts and sciences. They have a Dyslexia therapist onsite to provide strategic interventions, as well as a school psychologist available for the children. But most of all Govalle respects families and is an open campus most of the year, allowing parents to walk their children to class, eat lunch with them, and celebrate birthdays at the end of the day.

My child loves his neighborhood school. He's a social butterfly and has made lots of friends. Hes also reading above grade level. There is now a functioning PTA and more opportunities for parents to be involved. My son's teachers have been great so far and I can't say enough great things about the principal, Mr. Salinas and Ms. Andrew's, the vice principal. The school has also been completely renovated and having a modern and sunny building is definitely a bonus.

As long as the principal Jennifer Stephens is present, send your children to another school. Her toxicity trickles down and impacts students’ daily learning and social emotional well being. She may seem presentable in passing but she is not a thoughtful or kind administrator.

Im trying to transfer my son from this school ASAP

Head of the school is horrible, manipulative and do as she pleases with no regards to kids learning and wellbeing. Only cares about increasing tuition every year for very mediocre level of education with absolutely zero focus or interest on extra curriculum.
