About Austin Independent School District

Austin Independent School District is the largest public school district in the Austin metropolitan area, serving 69,251 students across 114 schools as of the 2025-26 school year. Enrollment has declined roughly 17% since 2016. District headquarters are at 4000 South IH-35 Frontage Road in Austin (78704), with Superintendent Matias Segura leading the system since 2023.

AISD was established in 1881 — making it one of the oldest school districts in the Austin metro. John B. Winn served as the first superintendent (1881-1894). The district covers most of the city of Austin plus the neighboring municipalities of Sunset Valley and San Leanna and portions of unincorporated Travis County (including Manchaca). AISD holds a "B" overall TEA accountability rating (81/100) for the 2025-26 accountability year, the most recent year TEA has rated; it was rated C for 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25, and B for 2021-22.

The district's 11 comprehensive high schools span several UIL classifications: Stephen F. Austin HS in central Austin (UIL 6A; Maroons; founded 1881 — one of the oldest public high schools west of the Mississippi River), Bowie HS in southwest Austin (UIL 6A; Bulldogs; opened 1988; AISD's largest HS by enrollment), Akins HS in south Austin (UIL 6A; Eagles; founded 2000; AISD's second-largest), L.C. Anderson HS in northwest Austin (UIL 5A; Trojans; current campus opened 1973), McCallum HS in central north Austin (UIL 5A; Knights; founded 1953; nationally recognized fine arts academy), Crockett ECHS in south Austin (UIL 5A; Cougars; established 1968), Navarro ECHS in northeast Austin (UIL 5A; Vikings; established 1961; renamed from Lanier HS in 2019 to honor Juan Navarro, a 2007 graduate who was killed in Afghanistan in 2012), LBJ Early College HS in northeast Austin (UIL 4A; Jaguars; founded 1974), Eastside ECHS at the Original L.C. Anderson Campus (UIL 4A; Panthers; established 2008), Northeast Early College HS (UIL 4A; Raiders; opened 1965; renamed from Reagan HS before the 2019-20 school year), and Travis Early College HS in south Austin (UIL 4A; Rebels; established 1953).

In addition to the comprehensive high schools, AISD operates several specialty/magnet high schools, most notably the Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA) — which shared the LBJ campus from 2007 to 2021 before relocating to a standalone campus — plus the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, Garza Independence HS, and several alternative campuses. International HS closed at the end of 2025-26 under the consolidation plan the AISD board approved on 20 November 2025.

The district's geographic footprint covers Austin's downtown, the central neighborhoods, the Hyde Park / North Loop / Allandale north-central area, the Tarrytown / Clarksville / Bouldin Creek inner-loop neighborhoods, and the Eastside historic neighborhoods, along with the southwest Hill Country edge (Bowie / Mills feeder), the south-central neighborhoods served by Travis and Crockett, and the south-and-east edges where Akins and LBJ feed.

Living in Austin Independent School District

Austin Independent School District covers most of the city of Austin (state capital of Texas; 2020 Census population 961,855) plus the neighboring municipalities of Sunset Valley and San Leanna and portions of unincorporated Travis County including Manchaca. The Colorado River corridor, the Capitol complex, the University of Texas at Austin, and the I-35 / MoPac (Loop 1) / SH 130 highway grid define the district's geographic frame.

AISD-zoned neighborhoods range from inner-loop historic districts (Hyde Park, Clarksville, Tarrytown, Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights, French Place, Holly, East Cesar Chavez, Rosedale, Allandale, North Loop) to mid-century postwar neighborhoods (Crestview, Brentwood, Westgate, Zilker, Barton Hills, Galindo) to large suburban-style master-planned areas at the district's western, southern, and southeastern edges (Circle C Ranch, Avana, Shady Hollow, Onion Creek, Riverside, Mueller, Walnut Creek). Established neighborhoods cluster around the original North University / West Campus / Hyde Park grid, downtown along Congress Avenue, and the Eastside along East Cesar Chavez and East 12th. The Mueller mixed-use redevelopment on the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport site is a large recent neighborhood-scale redevelopment inside the district.

Day-to-day retail centers on multiple districts: downtown along Congress Avenue and 6th Street; The Domain (a major mixed-use retail and office district at MoPac and Braker Lane); South Lamar / South Congress (SoCo); the Burnet Road / Anderson Lane corridor; East Austin's East 6th, East Cesar Chavez, and Manor Road districts; the Mueller market district; and the strip-and-corridor commercial along Riverside Drive, Slaughter Lane, William Cannon Drive, and Stassney Lane in south Austin. Healthcare access centers on Dell Children's Medical Center (Mueller), Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas (downtown), Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin (38th Street), and Baylor Scott & White's Austin-area campuses.

Outdoor recreation defines daily life. Lady Bird Lake (the dammed downtown segment of the Colorado River) hosts the Hike-and-Bike Trail, kayak / paddleboard rentals at Texas Rowing Center / Rowing Dock, and the Auditorium Shores park system. Barton Springs Pool — a spring-fed natural pool inside Zilker Park — maintains a constant 68°-70°F. Zilker Park itself anchors south-central Austin with Barton Creek, the Zilker Botanical Garden, the Umlauf Sculpture Garden, and the annual Austin City Limits Music Festival. Other major parks include Mayfield Park (peacocks), McKinney Falls State Park (south), Walter E. Long Park (east), the Greenbelt along Barton Creek, and the developing Festival Beach / Holly Shores / Roy G. Guerrero parks east of downtown.
