Mission

Although families in major cities in Texas have multiple school options available to them beyond their zoned school, a variety of barriers make it very difficult for families, especially resource-constrained families and those with limited English proficiency, to understand their options and exercise school choice. These barriers include lack of parent-friendly information about various types of schools and how to compare them, multiple application processes with different deadlines, and language barriers, among others.

Families Empowered's goal is for ALL families to have access to schools that work, for them.
