Austin Education & Austin

Austin is often touted as the most highly educated community in the US among cities with over 250,000 population.

More than 35% of the adults boast 16 or more years of education; nearly half completed high school and/or some college. One in nine adults is currently enrolled in an Austin area college or university.

Much of that education stems from the University of Texas at Austin, a sprawling campus that enrolls over 48,000 students. The third largest state learning institution in the nation, the University of Texas at Austin, or UT as it's more commonly known, includes top programs in liberal arts, engineering, business, and natural sciences. The campus includes the sixth largest academic library in the country.

Other higher education campuses include Austin Community College, St. Edward's University, Huston-Tillotson College, and Concordia Lutheran College.

There are more than 15 school districts in the Austin area, although most of the city is covered by the Austin Independent School District with nearly 100 campuses and over 73,000 students. District offices are located at the Carruth Administration Center, 1111 W. Sixth St., Austin, TX 78703-5399 or call 512/414-1700.

On the western edge of the city, Eanes Independent School District in Westlake Hills operates four elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school.
