In a lot of cases families moving to the state will want to know what the performance levels of the public schools in a given geographic area are. Austin like most metropolitan areas, is comprised of several independent school districts (ISD 's). In my earlier post I touched on funding through property taxes for the education system.
The link below is to the Texas education agency. The link will bring you to a page of the latest 2013 school ratings for all public schools in Texas. There is also information on how the ratings are calculated.

For a quick district report you can click on this link : Scroll to the district of interest http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/account/2013/statelist.pdf
You can get more information by accessing the reports on the left.
The goal of the system is to evenly compare individual campus performance on an apples to apples basis. This is a great tool for a family trying to narrow down possible areas of relocation.
The following ISD's serve the greater Austin area:
Austin ISD
Westlake ISD
Lake Travis ISD
Leander/Cedar park ISD
Round rock ISD
Dripping springs ISD
Hays ISD
Georgetown ISD

You can see other area ISD's on the map below.
