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.

This school is TRASH all across the board!!! If I could give a zero I would!!

My son and daughter both went to eighth grade at City School and loved their teachers, who were supportive, kind, excellent educators. They loved the community engagement afforded them by service opportunities and field trips, as well as the chance to memorize and perform in a safe place.

Compared to our child's previous private school, St. Austin's academics stand out. We have appreciated the well rounded academics, the incredible electives -- including band and choir, and the school's focus on excellence in all areas.
