Living in Paredes Middle
The Paredes Middle School attendance zone covers far south Austin including Onion Creek, Bauerle Ranch, the South 1st Street far-south corridor, and the Slaughter Lane south residential strip. The campus at 10100 South Mary Moore Searight Park sits adjacent to the 343-acre Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park.

The Akins High School attendance zone covers far south Austin from Slaughter Lane south to the AISD boundary, between Manchaca Road and IH-35 east.
