Eventhough Austin at this point is struggling with TAKS scores, I believe that with the help of the community and alumni from this school, it can overcome all the hardships it is facing at this point. To me this has been the best school ever, the teachers there taught me a lot about life and supported my future goals of going to college and getting a degree. Now I am three months away from graduating from the Universtiy of Texas at El Paso and I owe it to those teachers at Austin who went beyond their teacher duties and helped me not only apply for admissions at UTEP but also helped me find financial aid through scholarships so that money would not be a factor that would impede my future goals. All I can say at this point is Thank you (to those who helped me) and that Austin is a great school in El Paso, Texas.

I currently attend Austin and honestly its only as bad as you make it. The staff is very caring if you become involved and even if your not, the principal is really awsome along with the teachers and students! You really just have to be involvoed and the rest of the time is great!

I graduated at the top of my class and I never saw the problems most of the other people say they saw. Austin is moving up with the help of the new magnet school. Austin is great. Please visit the campus it is beautiful and full of history. I was fortunate enough to visit the underground tunnels with a vice principle and let me tell you it was very exciting and creepy. You'll love it!

In thisschool some of the teacher forget not every student speaks spanish, and thus should be reminded frequently. Needless to say that I am not very happy with this school.

Austin High School has come a long way! Evidently in sports, good job Mighty Panthers! The school moral has come up, and we, the class of '08 are trying tremendously to change the way things are being run. We now have a voice, and input of what the students think, in certain things. We're changing the status quo at this school, building a foundation, if you will. In a couple of years, if things continue this way, IT WILL BECOME EVEN BETTER! WHOOO HOOO GOOOOO PANTHERS!

This school has not evolved in nearly a decade. The teachers are caring less and less about our students and I can see it every time I visit. If the teachers continue this way, this historical school will founder indefinitely.

It is a very good school with the Sandra Day O'Conner Magnet. It is improving each year in TAKS scores.
