Posted by a community member on 11/21/2025My first son graduated from McCallum in 2022. While there are some challenges at McCallum, it is a good school that offers students a range of different opportunities. Our son enjoyed the business courses. He also took advantage of many different opportunities for advanced learning, including AP and

Posted by a community member on 5/9/2021The fine arts program (orchestra is my connection) is excellent, earning a Grammy Award - yes, THAT Grammy in 2015. All arts disciplines produce superb quality performance and display pieces. The rigor is there too, both in arts and in general education subjects, and sports teams are competitive, bu
Posted by a parent on 5/8/2016My child is currently a student and these teachers, assistant principals and principal do not stand by their mission. Majority of the teachers are there simple just to get a check. They have no interest if the kid succeed or not. Some of the teachers are just as childish as some of the kids. They la

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wish I had started my daughter at Highland Park. Brentwood is a mega school with and principal that is out of touch with the school and does not engage with parents or students. There is not a strong sense of community and the administration is quite rude. Especially the front office workers, with the exception of Neff. The other two basically scowl at you.Parent Review9mo ago - Gullett Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGullett is such a sweet school. The family involvement is great and everybody tries to take care of each other. The teachers have been great so far. Every classroom has a garden which is so fun and educational. Academics seem high, and I really like the principal, you can tell she really cares about the school absolutely the kids.Parent Review1y ago - Reilly Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIn 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.Teacher Review5mo ago - Ridgetop Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has been an incredible experience for our family over the past three years! We feel so supported by the principal, staff, and teachers. The strong sense of community is a real highlight, and the PTA's genuine care and continuous efforts to enhance the school – from the grounds to enrichment programs and equity initiatives – are truly appreciated. We also love the empowering leadership opportunities for the kids and the focus on kindness. We highly recommend this school!Parent Review1y ago - Wooten Elementary School
