AUSTIN OAKS

AUSTIN OAKS is a public charter school that is part of the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS UNIVERSITY CHARTER SCHOOL school district, located in AUSTIN, TX with about 26 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, AUSTIN OAKS has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

AUSTIN OAKS, located at 1407 W. Stassney Ln in Austin, Texas, is a specialized educational facility operating under the University of Texas University Charter School (UT-UCS) system. Unlike traditional neighborhood public schools, this campus is designed to provide high-quality, individualized instruction for students in unique circumstances—specifically those who are receiving services at specialized residential treatment centers or receiving intensive mental health care. The school focuses on maintaining academic continuity for students who might otherwise experience significant disruptions in their education due to their specialized placements.

Because it is part of the UT-UCS network, the school emphasizes a trauma-informed, flexible, and supportive learning environment. The curriculum is designed to be highly personalized, allowing teachers to work closely with students to meet their specific emotional, behavioral, and academic needs. By leveraging the resources and pedagogical expertise associated with the University of Texas, AUSTIN OAKS aims to help students achieve academic progress and prepare for future success despite the clinical or behavioral challenges they may be navigating.
