Great community, teachers, and location. Fantastic for those students who didn't do well socially in public school. However, its academics are poor compared to other high schools in Austin – students of all levels are in the same classes up until 11th grade, so both the fastest and slowest learners are frustrated with the pacing and material. Most classes are spent goofing off online. The small class size can be great, but it can also be stifling. This is the place for you if you are smart but don't care much about academics, didn't do well in public school, are liberal, and like the idea of an authentic community. This is NOT the place for you if you want a rigorous education, sports/music/dance/drama/tech/etc. facilities, a thriving social life, and/or to blend into the crowd.
We have been part of this school since 2008, and we love it. The teachers are incredible, and our kids absolutely love going to school. We feel so lucky to be part of this community. The teachers have helped my children cultivate their intellect, their hearts, and their curiosities.
My experience at headwaters was the best ever. The teachers there are so supportive and kind you form a relationship with them. The teachers make learning fun. Everyone is so understanding and wants to learn.
