Draw Academy

Draw Academy is a elementary school located in Houston, TX, serving grades -1–8 and approximately 678 students. Operated by Draw Academy, the campus sits about 3.1 miles from Bellaire News's newsroom and is part of Bellaire News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 30 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 22.6:1. That ratio is above the state average for TX, suggesting larger class sizes than the regional norm.

Draw Academy operates as a publicly funded charter school. These designations affect funding, enrollment policy, and the kinds of state and federal accountability measures the campus is subject to.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. Bellaire News publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Houston considering elementary placement, Draw Academy is one of the campuses Bellaire News regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
