Zavala Elementary

Zavala Elementary sits in the heart of East Austin, one of the city's most culturally rich and rapidly evolving neighborhoods, where longtime Latino community roots meet a wave of new residents and local businesses. The school serves a predominantly Hispanic student body and has deep ties to the surrounding community, making it a place where cultural identity and family connection are central to the experience. Families drawn to East Austin's vibrant street life, proximity to downtown, and strong neighborhood character will find a school that reflects the community around it, though those prioritizing test-based academic performance may want to weigh the school's below-average scores in English, math, and science carefully.
