Maplewood Elementary is one of the Austin Independent School District’s most vibrant learning spaces. This prekindergarten through fifth grade school in East Austin’s Upper Boggy Creek neighborhood is home to colorful murals, butterfly and vegetable gardens, an orchard and even a peace pole. Maplewood has been designated both an Eco Rise School for its outdoor learning spaces and a No Place for Hate school for its many anti-bias and diversity initiatives. Students at Maplewood receive a strong foundation in core subjects. The school offers a dual-language program, so many students learn in both Spanish and English. An array of enrichment programs, such as learning Shakespeare’s plays and how to play the ukulele or use computer code, are also available to students. The Creative Action organization offers after-school activities such as filmmaking, dance, puppetry, writing and visual art. Annual school traditions include a Parent Prom fundraiser, fall and spring festivals, a fun-run known as the Mustang Stampede and a Screen-Free Week, in which all members of the school community take a break from technology to reflect on its impact. Challenging academics, arts-focused enrichment and a commitment to inclusivity make Maplewood Elementary School a leading source of public education in the Upper Boggy Creek neighborhood.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Maplewood Elementary School has consistently blown away my elementary school experience in every way. It is a kind, nurturing school environment with incredible teachers and staff. Our school counselor is the rock of our school. She visits each classroom weekly and takes care of the emotional needs...

Maplewood is exactly the type of school I want my child to be a part of. Not only do my kids, who are part of the dual language program, receive an excellent education, but they are also in a supportive and diverse community. I feel very lucky to be within walking distance of this school.
