At Pflugerville’s Harmony Science Academy, learning often requires a few things besides just paper and pencil. Think: test tubes, microscopes or robots.
At this school, students undertake hands-on projects to find solutions to real-world problems. They combine the principles of science, technology, engineering and math to do it. This allows them to make deep, lasting connections across disciplines. In an aspect of the program known as “Students on Stage,” young scientists share what they’ve learned with their peers and the community.
Sports and a wealth of enrichment activities round out the day. Students run track and play basketball, soccer and flag football. Coding, newspaper, chess and yoga are just some of the many clubs they can join.
The school has been recognized by both Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report for academic achievement, and Greatschools.com gives it a 10 out of 10 for its success preparing students for college. It’s no wonder 100% of graduating seniors are accepted.
Though it may sound like an elite private school, Harmony Science Academy is a public charter, which means it open to all, tuition-free. A unique model, a reputation for excellence and countless enrichment opportunities make this school among the top choices for sixth through 12th grade education in Pflugerville.

The faculty and staff go above and beyond to create a nurturing and enriching learning environment. From the moment I walked in the door, I was impressed by the dedication and passion of the teachers, staff, and administration. They truly care about each student's success and work tirelessly to ensure a well-rounded education.

Harmony was a good school in regards to student advancing pathways, however, they don't offer much electives in which students could be interested in.
10/21/2021
It's a good school, however, the discipline committee is sometimes rude and do uncalled for things. The teachers are very sweet and helpful as well as the opportunities available for students. Campuses though are always run-down.
