The school opened in 1961 as Sidney Lanier High School, Austin ISD’s sixth high school, in the building that now houses Burnet Middle School, and moved to its Payton Gin Road campus in 1966. In 2019 Austin ISD renamed it for Juan P. Navarro, a 2007 graduate and U.S. Army soldier killed in Afghanistan in 2012, so older records and listings may still say Lanier. In 2025-26, Navarro enrolled 1,391 students, with 93.7% economically disadvantaged, 74.1% emergent bilingual and 14.1% receiving special education services, according to TEA, and a student-teacher ratio of 14.0 to 1. Navarro describes itself as the most diverse high school in Austin, with students from more than 53 countries. A $61.4 million Phase 1 modernization under the 2022 bond, including a new athletics building, a school mental health center, CTE and outdoor learning spaces and a secure vestibule, is expected to open in August 2027. GreatSchools and TEA measure different things. GreatSchools weighs test results against schools with similar student populations, while TEA’s rating, below, is the state’s official accountability measure.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Navarro Early College High School earned an overall B with a score of 80. That is up 5 points from a C (75) in 2024-25. Navarro was a B (83) in 2021-22, dropped to a D (69) in 2022-23 and has improved each year since, with a C (74) in 2023-24.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): B (80)
- Student Achievement: C, 78 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance, college, career and military readiness, and graduation rate)
- School Progress: B, 82 out of 100 (Academic Growth D/64, Relative Performance B/82)
- Closing the Gaps: C, 76 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (83) in 2021-22, D (69) in 2022-23, C (74) in 2023-24, C (75) in 2024-25
- Austin ISD (2025-26): B (81) district-wide
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. For high schools, Student Achievement combines STAAR results with college, career and military readiness (CCMR) and graduation rates. Navarro’s Student Achievement rose from 75 to a C (78), helped by a CCMR score of 96, up from 91 in each of the two prior years. School Progress was a B (82), carried by Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, at 82. Academic Growth remains the weak spot at a D (64), though it is up from an F (56) in 2024-25. Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, improved from a D (67) to a C (76). Navarro earned distinction designations in ELA/Reading and Postsecondary Readiness in 2021-22 and none since. The campus is not identified for state improvement support.
