The following is an overview of school
districts in Austin and surrounding areas.
We’ve included a brief description of each
district, including number of students,
number of schools, coverage area, average
SAT/ACT scores, student/teacher ratio,
and the percentage of students who passed
the TAKS test at the exit level, where
available. Many districts have their own
websites; if available, those are also listed
with the district information.
NOTE: The following public school district
statistics are based on the Texas Education
Agency’s (TEA) most recent Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) District Reports
(2015-2016 school year). For comprehensive information on each district, contact the district, or
the Texas Education Agency at (512) 463-9734,
or log on to www.tea.state.tx.us. Average SAT
scores data is now calculated using all three parts
of the test instead of the previous year’s usage of
just the verbal and math section.
