STISD Community

Science Academy is consistently ranked among the best in the state and nation.

STISD is the only all-magnet school district in the state, and offers Valley students an educational alternative. The district provides a personal environment, a strong scholastic program and hands-on training in vocational career fields.

Because Science Academy is part of a public school district, there is no cost for students to attend the campus, and bus transportation is also free of charge.

Science Academy maintains an open enrollment policy, meaning any student that wants to attend our campus can as long as he or she resides within the tri-county area we serve.

At Science Academy, meet curious, collaborative and driven students just like you.
