EDEN PARK ACADEMY

EDEN PARK ACADEMY is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the WAYSIDE SCHOOLS school district, located in AUSTIN, TX with about 399 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 24 teachers, EDEN PARK ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

EDEN PARK ACADEMY is a public charter school located in South Austin, serving students in grades Pre-K through 5. As part of the Wayside Schools network, the academy is committed to providing a high-quality, college-preparatory education that focuses on academic rigor, character development, and the cultivation of lifelong learners.
