About Bedichek Middle
Bedichek Middle was an Austin Independent School District middle-school campus. Austin ISD's Board of Trustees voted on 20 November 2025 to close the campus at the end of the 2025-26 school year under the district's school consolidation plan, and it did not reopen for 2026-27. Students were reassigned to Covington, Paredes, or Mendez Middle School. In its final reporting year the campus enrolled approximately 671 students with a pupil-teacher ratio of about 14:1.
The campus offered Gifted & Talented services, Special Education programming, fine arts (band, choir, theatre, orchestra), and the standard UIL middle-school athletics slate that prepares students for AISD's high-school programs. Bedichek Middle was a feeder for Crockett ECHS.
