Strong points about Austin Middle School
Austin Middle School was identified as one of the "Best of the Best," a top middle school in the state in the November 2001 issue of Texas Monthly magazine. In the article titled "How Good is Your Kid's School?," Austin was also identified as a five star school, meaning that we are in the top 20 percent in our socioeconomic group. Austin was one of only two schools in the IISD listed as a Top School in the State. For more information, visit the Just for the Kids Web site just4kids.org or the Texas Monthly Web site www.texasmonthly.com. We are proud to be recognized for our achievements and academic success.
Our campus has a current "Recognized" rating.  This rating measures our school effectiveness in several areas, including academic achievement and attendance.  It is issued yearly by the Texas Education Agency.
