Junior: My experience here was absolutely fantastic!! If you are on the fence at all about applying, definitely give it a shot. We have the best math, science, english, and social studies programs in the city, and they aren’t going anywhere soon. The football is kind of lacking, but our swimming, water polo, volleyball, and track/XC teams are stupendous. As with most schools in AISD we don’t have all the resources in the world because of recapture and the state, but we definitely make the most of what we have, the food is better than I expected for a high school, and our facilities are getting better year on year. Our college counselors (another perk of LASA) are a highlight of the school and help everyone (juniors and seniors) with college applications. Also, I cannot speak more highly of the elective diversity that we have. We have something for everyone, and I suggest looking through the course guide on the website. However, the amount of homework on that guide is greatly overstated. Apply... Read 504 reviews

Senior: The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders really lives up to its mission statement. Having the chance to attend the school for up to 6 years, the students really create a strong relationship with staff and faculty! From 6th to 11th grade, girls are required to take field trips to colleges where they're able to feel what it's like being on a college campus. In 11th grade, girls get the experience of having the ability to be an intern at a company based on the pathway they chose in 9th grade : engineering, media-tech, or bio-med. Such an amazing school, and great for preparing for college.... Read 138 reviews

Senior: Austin high is a place where you can find a variety of teachers and students. I have had some of the most committed and passionate teachers, and some on the other side. School spirit and sports vary, it’s what you make of it. The different academy programs also offer enriching projects and experiences that enhance learning. The programs make this large school feel smaller and more personal. I have enjoyed my time at AHS so much! I will say I wish more of the school’s budget was focused on improving bathrooms and classrooms.... Read 267 reviews

Niche User: This school is very pleasing. There is acceptable behavior and learning here, and the students are also learning a grade ahead of their actual grade. The school also has great fundraisers such as pennies for peace(Africa's schools) and walk for water (clean water). Some Donors pay for the field trips are fairs/carnivals. If you want to come to this school, expectations are high here so get started! From Pre-kindergarten to Ph.D.!... Read 14 reviews

Alum: I love that all the teachers there are very understanding and supportive. They really believe in you. Personally, I would of liked to see more clubs, possibly sports related clubs. Maybe a volleyball or pickleball club. It’s a very accepting environment and you meet a lot of interesting people with all kinds different backstories. I loved this school!... Read 48 reviews

Senior: My Experience with this school is good but not that good , some of the good things about this school is how it's all technology base, instead of textbooks we are provided with an Ipad to use in the school so you don't have to bring a lot in your backpack but you may need to bring some notebooks in some of the classes that you might have, it's also a small school filled about less than 200 students so it's great small school and very easy to get around than a large high school, another thing is that there are some days on Fridays where we have game night and its when kids spend the rest of the after school play games on some consoles that the school have,VR and board games , they also do themes on game night depending if theres a holiday or have some special days. Some of the issues I have with the school is there are not that much after school activities or have sports teams as well, and they lack the knowledge of applying and learning for college in the last minute for seniors....

Alum: I absolutely love Davis Elementary. It was the fist elementary school I attended where the teachers cared about their students' lives and education. The teachers helped any struggling students every way they could and rewarded those who achieved success. The parents were very involved and helped with many school events. The staff was enthusiastic about their resources and helped families with any issues that arose. The education at Davis greatly helped me succeed in middle and high school. Overall, Davis Elementary is one of the best elementary schools in Austin, Texas.... Read 3 reviews

Alum: I went to Fulmore a few years ago and loved every minute. While the academics may not have been as rigorous as some local schools, the teachers still care about each student's abilities. What I loved the most was that everyone found their place, no matter what background or personality they had, and formed a great community.... Read 2 reviews

Parent: Valor has been an incredible gift to our family. The teachers are joyful and attentive. The leadership and their vision for educating the whole person and cultivating wisdom and virtue in the students is inspiring. I love that they're reading quality literature and are being encouraged to think critically and engage in meaningful conversation. I'm amazed at the poems our kids want to recite for us over dinner. The math curriculum is excellent. I wish I had been taught math this way! There is a quiet joy in the hallway, where kids feel safe, nurtured, and fully present. I love that our older kids and younger kids can all be at the same school together and see each other often on campus. After trying several different schools, we have finally found our home! Our kids are thriving and look forward to going to school every day. The families at Valor are amazing, and I'm so grateful to have found this school community.... Read 17 reviews

Sophomore: Overall, the school is good. Depending on your major, classes can be extremely challenging and not fun if you get stuck with a terrible professor. Campus feels unsafe at times with homelessness and a high crime rate in Austin. Food at the dining halls gets very repetitive. Other than that, every thing else is great! Staff are super friendly and nice as well as the students. Lots of diversity and the president is pretty cool!... Read 23 reviews

There are several special programs only found at Dawson Elementary - ESL Dual Language, special education, infant childcare, Pre-K3, Communities in Schools, Extend-a-Care and STEM STEAM programs....

Alum: My experience at Idea Montopolis College Prep was with no doubts one of the greatest I've ever had. Idea Montopolis is a prestigious school, that makes sure that every student do well academically as well as getting them prepared for college. I'm very fortunate to be a former alumni of Idea Montopolis, because this school has helped me academically during both middle school all the way to high school. All teachers and counselors are caring and helpful towards the students, and 100% of all students graduate and enroll to colleges successfully.... Read 23 reviews

Parent: Jubilee Wells Branch is a K-11th grade school, and we'll add seniors in 2021-2022! I'm looking forward to celebrating that first graduating class in May of 2022. I've worked at Jubilee for 3 years and my kids attend as well. Jubilee is a community of families that celebrate these values: Joy, Understanding, Balance, Integrity, Leadership, Empowerment, and EXCELLENCE. My daughter loves her 6th grade teachers, especially her Spanish teacher. She told me her Spanish teacher is the best because she really tries to get to know her students and make the learning fun!... Read 23 reviews

Parent: Austin Discovery School changed our lives. Our daughter has grown up in private schools, but the last private school she was at had severe bullying problems. This year has been amazing. From the teachers to the community and everything in between. She has grown more confident. She is never bullied. She is encouraged to be herself. She studies eco wellness (and loves it) and she loves the Wednesday hikes. Our daughter is the 98% on her Star test and is overall very bright, and this school has given her reasons to be excited about excelling further. She is not board like she was in other schools. I am impressed with ADS and look forward to having our son attend this coming year in Kinder. I hope you’ll consider ADS, the school focused more on your child then any other school we’ve been to....

Works Here: I've worked at HSE Austin for almost 6 years and although I've always enjoyed working here I can say the campus has made huge improvements in the last few years that benefit teachers, parents, and students. The behavior expectations for students are fair, clear, and enforced, the curriculum is designed to challenge and engage student learners, and the overall atmosphere is safe, positive and caring. Harmony has implemented a new platform that allows for easy communication between parents, students, and teachers where grades and behavior issues are documented and addressed. This streamlined process helps teachers keep parents informed and also makes it easier for teachers to address parent concerns. The school is small, friendly, and full of amazing students, teachers, and other staff members!... Read 56 reviews

Senior: Starting freshman year at a brand new high school came with many ups and downs, my class began the legacy for future generations to come at Johnson High School. We were tasked with creating the culture that you would typically assimilate into and being granted with executing new expectations at a high standard creating outstanding leadership development. Our class formed a unique bond that I couldn't possibly imagine other schools having, there became a sense of unification in the school as it began to grow. I can't say that I've had a normal high school experience, but I am proud to say that my class has allowed many future students to grow in a welcoming environment. Even though it hasn't been easy holding the weight of being the first graduating class of all 4 years at Johnson High School, I wouldn't change my experience as it has given me lifelong tools that I would have never scratched the surface of at another school....
