Dessau Middle

Dessau Middle sits in the fast-growing northeast Austin corridor, where families are putting down roots in newer subdivisions while still enjoying relatively easy access to the broader city. The school's academic scores land in the lower tier statewide, so families who prioritize academics may want to weigh their options carefully — though the area's rapid growth means the school community is evolving alongside the neighborhood itself. Families drawn to the affordability and energy of this part of Austin, who are actively involved in their kids' education, will want to visit in person to get a feel for the school's culture and extracurricular offerings before making a decision.
