My experience with Austin High School is great. The school has some great teachers and coaches. They have the greatest health care program and I love that so much. I am learning about the human body and other medical conditions.

The best part about Austin High school is it truly does feel like a giant family and how close everyone is. The worst would be the overcrowding in the hallways, it continues to increase every year. I would like to see a change in that also.

6/8/2024

I had a good experience and really enjoyed having a lot of diversity within my school. I found that having many different types of students and teachers allowed for more variety in friendships and understanding different cultures and different levels of income and how it can affect young minds.
