Mission Statement
IDEA Public Schools prepares students from underserved communities for success in college and citizenship and is committed to developing students with the academic, social, and leadership characteristics to apply, matriculate, and succeed in a four-year college or university. IDEA Public Schools believes that each and every child can go to college. IDEA has grown from a small school with 150 students to the fastest-growing network of tuition-free, Pre-K-12 public charter schools in the United States. IDEA was recently named America’s Best Charter School Network by The Eli & Edyth Broad Foundation and was named among the best high schools in the nation by US News and World Report and The Washington Post.
About This Cause
IDEA Public Schools was founded in the Rio Grande Valley in 2000. Since then, we have opened schools in Austin and San Antonio. By 2022, IDEA will operate 173 schools preparing to serve nearly 100,000 students and families. With new and continued growth scheduled within Texas and beyond, IDEA is responding to the demand for more high-performing public schools, making us the fastest-growing, highest-achieving charter school network in the country. Our new schools will be sitting new students in El Paso, Texas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Charter schools, such as IDEA, are tuition-free public schools with the freedom to be more innovative, while being held accountable for improved student achievement. They are open to all students and held to the same academic standards of traditional public schools. Every child can and will succeed if given the opportunity. No student’s potential should be limited by the color of their skin, where they live, household income. Since 2000, we have had ten classes of graduating seniors, 100% of whom have been accepted to a college or university. Getting to college is only half the battle. Getting through college is the goal. Our vision is to ensure students reach their potential, IDEA Public Schools will become the region’s largest creator of college graduates.
