About Idea Public Schools

IDEA Public Schools believes that each and every child can go to college. Since 2000, IDEA Public Schools 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. Currently, the network serves 63,000 college-bound students in 120 schools across Texas and Louisiana.

IDEA has been recognized as a “Great Place to Work” and received national rankings on The Washington Post and U.S. News & World Report’s Top High Schools lists. Through our unique curriculum and our college support model comprising people, programs, and culture, we are closing the opportunity gap and increasing levels of achievement by preparing students from underserved communities for success in college and citizenship. IDEA students, staff, and families hold themselves and each other to the high expectations and core values that guide all IDEA Public Schools. To date, IDEA remains on-track to uphold its legacy of sending 100% of its graduates to college for the 14th year in a row.
