We are proud to share exciting news from Gus Garcia Young Men’s Leadership Academy! Our campus has been recognized by the district for achieving the highest student growth in 2025—based on MAP Growth data—among all schools on the east side of Austin.
This honor reflects the incredible dedication of our students, who continue to push themselves academically, and the commitment of our teachers and staff who provide exceptional instruction, guidance, and support. MAP Growth measures how much students improve over time, and this recognition shows that our young men are not only meeting expectations—they are exceeding them.
At Gus Garcia YMLA, we believe in the potential of every student. This achievement highlights the strength of our academic programs, our culture of brotherhood and accountability, and the hard work happening every day in our classrooms.
Thank you to our families for your continued partnership. Together, we are helping our young men reach new heights and build a strong foundation for future success.
