A Strategic Vision for Austin Public Schools
At Austin Public Schools, we are preparing all learners to make a difference in the world. We strive to create an inclusive environment where every student has the support they need to become the best version of themselves.
We are proud of our students and dedicated to our mission to inspire, empower and accelerate. Over the past decade, Austin Public Schools has experienced remarkable growth, reaching its highest enrollment in 40 years. With a 13.1% increase in total student enrollment since 2013 — driven by a nearly threefold surge in Early Childhood and PreK programs and a significant rise in high school enrollment — our schools are serving more students than ever before.
The 2023-2024 school year was filled with accomplishments. Read the Austin Public Schools 2023-2024 Annual Report to learn more about how every corner of our district is working to help students succeed!
Our Long-Term STrategic Plan
To guide our district’s future, the Austin School Board approved a long-term strategic plan focused on four primary goals:
Provide support and resources to ensure a safe and welcoming learning environment.
Create a “Packer Profile” for all learners, which includes building strong character qualities – responsibility, resiliency, learner, communicator, and contributor.
Ensure district-wide, multi-tiered systems of support for all learners.
Demonstrate efficient and equitable management of dollars and resources.
