ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL

ACADEMY H S is a Title I public high school that is part of the ACADEMY ISD school district, located in LITTLE RIVER, TX with about 453 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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 32 teachers, ACADEMY H S has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

Academy High School, located in Little River-Academy, Texas, serves as the primary secondary campus for the Academy Independent School District. The school is known for fostering a close-knit, community-focused educational environment that balances academic rigor with a strong commitment to extracurricular involvement. As a central hub for the district, the high school emphasizes student success by providing a range of core academic programs alongside various athletic and elective opportunities designed to prepare students for post-secondary education and the workforce.

The school’s culture is often characterized by the "Bee" spirit—the district mascot—which reflects a community-oriented atmosphere common in smaller, rural-adjacent Texas school districts. By maintaining a focus on personal growth and community engagement, Academy High School strives to create a supportive learning environment where students are encouraged to achieve both inside and outside the classroom.
