Our daughter attended Austin the last three years. We had moved here from another state, and she was very anxious when she started sixth grade, but her teachers and the other students were very welcoming, and she made true friends, as did we with others in the AMS community. We are POC and were a bit worried coming to the South, but it is a diverse school with students from many different backgrounds who all seem to coalesce into a caring environment that strongly encourages academic excellence and participation in the many clubs and teams that are offered. Her experiences were in the science bowl, UIL competitions, orchestra and track. Highly recommend!

When we started in this school 6 years ago, I thought this school was the best school. The kindergarten teacher was fabulous, and my daughter was excelling. 3 years later I enrolled my son, and in that time, the school has gone from fabulous to absolutely terrible!! If you have a concern about your child, and the bullying that is ongoing in this school, you get blown-off, and informed that if your child was better behaved, it wouldn't be an issue, and that it is NOT bullying! What happened to the zero tolerance policy AISD put into effect? The principals come into the students rooms this year, yelling at them over lower scores on practice TAKS. Substitutes run from this school during the day saying they won't ever sub there again. Teachers treat you like you are nothing because you aren't a teacher. And when the principal refuses to address the issues, forget about going to the cluster director!! He'll call the principal, and tell you it's up to the principal to decide what is what, and then your child will be treated like a pariah for the rest of the school year at least. I am doing everything I can to get my children out of this district all-together.

Our kids love going to Tascosa High School! The teachers make a strong effort to connect with the students, and my children each have clicked with a teacher mentor who have helped guide them in decisions that are important for their current and future growth and success. Par excellence is the only way to describe their orchestra and band programs, which includes a wonderful Christmas dinner concert for families and friends that is highly entertaining and memorable. As far as academics, the teachers have pushed our kids to do their very best. We have appreciated the administration and staff's flexibility and help with the kids' schedules to ensure they are able to take all the courses they require for their future studies and college applications. Also, the Tascosa Rebel football team are #1 in the state this year! It is such a diverse student body, we have seen that most students find their people and place at THS.

The faculty of this school work together not only as a team, but more as a harmonious family. They are creative with children, caring, and provide rewarding experiences for the children and their parents.
