A Former Teacher's Guide
Schools & Districts in Austin
Austin ISD is the largest district in the metro, but it's far from the only option. Depending on where you live, you could be in any of several districts — each with a very different personality.
Expert Insight
Angie's Take
Angie Ufomata
Former teacher · 9 years in Round Rock ISD
Here’s what surprises most families moving to Austin: the city limits overlap with multiple school districts. You might buy a house in Austin and end up in Round Rock ISD, Leander ISD, Pflugerville ISD, or even Eanes ISD. Each has a completely different culture, rating, and set of programs. Don’t shop for a home in “Austin” and assume Austin ISD — that’s the most common mistake I see.
