St Elmo El

I have known and loved this school for years as both my mother and sister in law have taught/still teach here but I am especially excited and proud because both my children are now in pre-school here (transfer students into the dual language). It feels so much like a family in the heart of the city where it represents all, where everyone knows each other and watches out for each other. We are so proud to be dolphins!

A hidden gem in South Austin! Registering at Joslin was the best choice we have made since moving to Austin. The administration is caring and helpful. The PTA goes above and beyond to make Joslin a fun and beautiful campus. The small community is special and incredibly welcoming. My kids have tons of after school enrichment to choose from and every teacher we have had genuinely loves and cares about my child and their success. Aside from english, Students can choose to learn in Spanish or Mandarin… or both! We love this school!

Dedication to excellence and developing every aspect of the whole child not just academics is clear at Odom. The office staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. You get a sense of belonging like a family; genuine care and concern for all students. The teachers have a way to include every student and diversify their teaching to accommodate all the different learning styles that make up their classes. The score of “4” is not reflective of all the great and positive things this school is doing and accomplishing. Your kid will feel welcome, comfortable and at ease to learn. Staff ensure the child’s needs are met beyond academics; honing in on their emotional and mental health as well.

The entire staff work really hard to give the best possible education to the students.

We love City School! Our child’s reading level has improved dramatically since coming to City School. Her teachers have implemented a great plan and give her one-on-one attention to help her overcome obstacles. We also love the holistic academic approach and no screens!! At her last school, she was staring at a screen for the majority of the day. We are very thankful for the culture and environment at City School.
