Texas Empowerment Academy Celebrates Milestone
On January 14th Texas Empowerment Academy (TxEA) will celebrate a significant milestone, marking its first year on an expansive 89,000-square-foot campus. This growth is a testament to TxEA’s vision and resilience over its 26-year history as a pioneering charter school in Texas. Despite 86% of its students being economically disadvantaged, TxEA consistently demonstrates remarkable achievements, transforming narratives surrounding Black youth success.
In a broader educational landscape often focused on challenges like low graduation rates and achievement gaps, TxEA offers a compelling counter-narrative. The academy is dedicated to fostering an environment of educational equity and cultural responsiveness, enabling its Pre-K through 12th-grade students to consistently meet and surpass standardized assessment expectations. This tailored approach ensures personalized attention and academic success, challenging conventional perceptions of Black academic potential.
