Talking about Austin schools, reference is often made to the vibrant and culturally diverse Independent School District (ISD). Cultural diversity at Austin Schools is higher than other larger districts due to the proximity to Mexico, and the welcoming nature of the city. There are 57 different languages spoken in Austin. The ISD caters to the metropolitan area of Austin, Sunset Valley and San Leanna. The ISD has 110 schools catering to 82000 students. Austin Schools face a lot of the challenges that other school districts face like poverty and crime. Active steps are regulary taken to resolve these problems. The goal is to identify the schools with the highest needs and then tackle the problems one by one. It is ensured that the teachers have adequate training to deal with students who are considered high risk. The Austin ISD tries to help as many kids as possible reach their full potential. Parents may choose to send their kids to private schools, but that requires a lot of research.
