Kocurek Elementary

Kocurek Elementary sits in the 78748 zip code, one of South Austin's more affordable and family-friendly pockets, where newer subdivisions mix with older neighborhoods and you're never far from Slaughter Creek trails or a solid taco spot. The school shows a real strength in science that stands out, even as math scores leave some room to grow — families who value hands-on learning and a tight-knit community feel tend to find a good home here. It's a decent option for South Austin families looking for a neighborhood school with some genuine bright spots, especially if a strong science program is on the wishlist.
