This document presents data summarizing the indicators of educational quality in the Austin (Texas) Independent School District (AISD) and, where possible, compares the AISD data to data from other urban districts, the state, and the nation. Data are presented on student achievement overall, for college-bound students and among different ethnic groups, as well as district rates for school attendance, college attendance aspiration, high school graduation, grade retention, and dropouts. On almost all quality indicators the AISD scored above average, including: (1) scores above the national average at grades K-12 in all tests areas; (2) Exit-Level Texas Educational Assessment of Minimum Skills (TEAMS) scores above the state average and first among the eight urban districts in Texas; (3) one and one-half to two times the national average percentage of students scoring above the 90th percentile; (4) two and one-half to four times the average percentile for urban districts scoring above the 90th percentile; (5) scores above the state and national averages on the Scholastic Aptitude Test; and (6) four to seven times the average number of National Merit Scholarship recognition awards for a district of its size. The one area showing need for improvement was basic skills, especially mathematics in grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. (JGL)
