Homes in Austin ISD

The Austin Independent School District serves 78,000 students on 107 campuses. Unlike many urban school districts in the U.S. today, AISD has a richly, diverse student community. It includes children from all economic levels and all kinds of backgrounds. AISD students come from homes in which 57 different native languages are spoken. These include children from Uzbekistan, the Sudan, Mexico, Bolivia, Vietnam and South Korea. Fifty-two percent of their  students are Hispanic, 31 percent are Anglo, 14 percent are African American, and 3 percent are Asian. More than half their students come from low-income families, and 20 percent enter their schools as English-Language Learners.
