Austin Independent School District is a school district based in the city of Austin, Texas, United States. Established in 1881,[2] the district serves most of the City of Austin, the City of Sunset Valley, the Village of San Leanna, and unincorporated areas in Travis County (including Manchaca).

In 2011, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[6] Forty-nine percent of districts in Texas in 2011 received the same rating.[7] No state accountability ratings will be given to districts in 2012.[8] A school district in Texas can receive one of four possible rankings from the Texas Education Agency: Exemplary (the highest possible ranking), Recognized, Academically Acceptable, and Academically Unacceptable (the lowest possible ranking).

Established over 20 years ago the Austin Public Education Foundation (APEF) raises funds to support broad school district initiatives. They primarily rasies funds through Grant applications, Corporate solicitations, and the Charitable giving campaign of school district employees.[11]
