Students Say

"At Southwest, there is a close-knit environment where you could sit down with your teachers and have real conversations. I have made bonds with teachers and other staff, to where I know I can always depend on them for help."

Southwest Public Schools is a choice-based Texas education district, opened in 1999, with an understanding that true learning is not based on standardized testing or college entrance, but on offering a fulfilling educational experience that can be adjusted for each student.

Due to our charter district containing elementary schools, sober day programs, residential programs and a combined middle and high school, we are able to accommodate students through the entire life cycle of their education and personal circumstances.

Small school sizes foster an intimate and positive culture within our district. Communication channels are open in all directions, ensuring that students, parents, faculty and staff each have a voice. This close environment allows faculty and staff to develop programs that cater to each individual student’s needs.

We understand a successful education is one where boundaries are overcome, opportunities are experienced and possibility is realized. Regardless of how a student gets here, from the day they start at Southwest Public Schools we rally around them with the promise of acceptance, encouragement and success.
