INTERNATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
INTERNATIONAL H S is a public secondary school that is part of the AUSTIN ISD school district, located in AUSTIN, TX with about 191 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 10th Grade. With about 19 teachers, INTERNATIONAL H S has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.
**International High School** (often referred to as Int’l HS) is a specialized campus located within the Austin Independent School District (AISD) at the site of the former Eastside Memorial High School. The school is specifically designed to serve newcomer students—recent immigrants and refugees who are in the early stages of learning English. By focusing on linguistic development alongside core academic requirements, the school provides a supportive environment that helps students transition into the U.S. educational system while maintaining their cultural identities.
The school is notable for its commitment to a "sheltered instruction" model, which allows students to earn their high school diplomas while receiving intensive English Language Development (ELD) support. Because the student body consists of individuals from diverse global backgrounds, the school emphasizes a multicultural curriculum and provides wrap-around services to help families navigate resources in their new community. By centering its mission on the unique needs of newcomer populations, International High School acts as a bridge, ensuring that students who might otherwise struggle in a traditional comprehensive high school have the tools and language proficiency necessary to succeed in college and career pathways.
