This is my first year of middle her and my mental health dropped greatly due to pressure and too much homework, there were some great teachers but others were rude to me. kids here often did not get into fights but emotionally I feel the school isn't too welcome. kids there can relentlessly be mean to people and often get away with it. on the flip side, the fine Arts programs are really immersive and even though I don't necessarily enjoy learning, most of the core subject teachers definitely prepare you for the STAAR tests over all this is a mediocre school.

In the past three years under the leadership of Principal Leyla Olano this school has flourished. It has been a gem of a school in north central Austin! Principal Olano recruiited some great teachers, including a number from Spain and Latin America for the Spanish language program and Chinese teachers from both Taiwan and mainland China for the Chinese language program. Discipline is firm but fair and always with a loving attitude, ensuring a safe learning environment. The facility is admittedly older (1953) but the small size of the student body ensures individual attention -- everyone knows everyone and helps out. Fantastic PTA support and lots of community activities! I don't know what the 2026-2027 school year might bring with all the changes in Austin ISD, but these past few years have seen incredible improvements and a stable staff.
