River Oaks Academy - Westchase

Funding fit for River Oaks Academy - Westchase

River Oaks Academy - Westchase appears in the Texas Comptroller's TEFA participating-school finder (checked October 9, 2026). A Houston-area student who holds a Texas Education Freedom Account can use it here. For 2026-27 that is $10,474 per student, deposited 25% on July 1, 25% on October 1 and 50% on February 1, and paid to the school through the Odyssey platform. To participate, a school must be accredited by a TEPSAC-recognized organization or TEA, have operated at least two school years, and give an annual norm-referenced test in grades 3-12.

The school reports special education services or a learning-differences focus. A TEFA student with an IEP on file can receive more than the standard award. For a Houston ISD resident, that is roughly $15,731 to $16,818 for regular-campus IEP settings, capped at $30,000.

Independent schools set their own need-based aid. A school may weigh a TEFA award when it decides aid, but it may not charge a TEFA family a different tuition.

Questions to ask this school

1. Do you participate in TEFA, and are you confirming enrollments for families awarded in the next cycle?
2. What is tuition for my child's grade, and which fees (registration, books, technology, uniforms, lunch) can be paid from the TEFA account?
3. Which discounts do you offer (sibling, church member, employee), and what need-based aid is available for the balance?
4. Will you accept the TEFA payment schedule (25% July, 25% October, 50% February), or do you need a deposit from personal funds?
5. Which IEP settings and diagnoses do you have room for right now? Do you bill on-campus therapies as school fees?
6. For high school: which dual-credit partners do you use, and can those course fees come from the account?
