Austin Elementary

This is one of the most sought after elementary schools (according to real estate agents). It has 32 open classrooms (most don’t have all 4 walls and instead have rolling pods and bookshelves for dividers) for K-​5^th with one class for pre-​K. They recently built a new playground and gym in the past ten years — when I was there we had to do chair aerobics in the cafeteria on rainy days because there was no gym. The teachers and administrators continue teaching here for years because of the great support from the parents in the area. Classrooms are never overcrowded, and I can’t recall a time when they had to use trailers. It’s my dear alma mater and there is nothing bad I could say about this school; most of my great childhood memories took place here — the spring festivals, field days, sock-​hops, and fall carnivals.
