Newton Collins Elementary

Newton Collins Elementary sits in the 78744 zip code on Austin's southeastern edge, a part of the city that's growing fast but still retains a tight-knit, working-class character far removed from the trendier corridors of town. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with math being its relative strong suit, making it a reasonable fit for families in the Del Valle ISD community who are looking for a neighborhood school with room to grow. Families who are active in their kids' education and willing to supplement at home may find this a comfortable starting point in an area of Austin that's increasingly on the radar for its affordability and proximity to the airport corridor.
