IDEA NAJIM ACADEMY

IDEA NAJIM ACADEMY is a public charter elementary school that is part of the IDEA PUBLIC SCHOOLS school district, located in SAN ANTONIO, TX with about 376 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd Grade. With about 16 teachers, IDEA NAJIM ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 23:1. 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.

IDEA NAJIM ACADEMY is a tuition-free public charter school located in San Antonio, Texas, serving students in grades PK–5. As part of the wider IDEA Public Schools network, the academy is founded on a college-preparatory mission, aiming to prepare students for success in higher education and beyond. The campus emphasizes a structured, rigorous academic environment that focuses on literacy, numeracy, and character development, with the goal of closing the achievement gap for students in the local community.

The school is characterized by its "college-for-all" culture, where classrooms and school-wide traditions are intentionally designed to build a professional, academic mindset from a young age. By utilizing data-driven instruction and a high-expectations curriculum, IDEA Najim strives to ensure that every student is on track for college readiness. The school serves the Eastside of San Antonio and plays a significant role in the network’s efforts to provide high-quality educational options to families in historically underserved areas.
