An overview of Austin public schools

The federal directory lists 259 public schools in Austin, TX: 153 elementary, 41 middle, 51 high, 14 combined or other. The 254 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 157,706 students, an average of 621 per school. The largest campus is Lake Travis H S (3,569 students), and the largest elementary school is Blazier El (1,275).

Austin ISD operates the most schools here (121), and 10 regular districts have at least one Austin campus, plus 23 charter, service, or other agencies. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 13.9:1, similar to the statewide school median of 14.5:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.

School choice options include 64 charter schools, 1 virtual school. Application windows and lotteries usually open months before the school year.

Among 49 high and combined schools with 2021–22 civil-rights data, 34 reported students enrolled in AP courses and 29 of 52 reported computer-science classes. Confirm current course catalogs directly with each school.

About 51% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
