Posted April 21, 2008

My kids were educated at Austin Elementary for five years. The teachers are wonderful; they kept my children motivated to learn and do their best. The office staff is very friendly and cooperative. I never worried about how my kids would be treated while they were at school, especially when there was a problem. I have made many sacrifices over the years, (commute time, location of home,) just to keep my kids in this district!

The teachers at Austin are dedicated to their students, but I believe the class size is too large, expecially in kindergarten. The office staff is very helpful and friendly. Overall we are pleased with our experience at Austin.
