Austin ISD reviews

The HR department is unwilling or unable to come up with a way to offer reasonable compensation. They use some archaic metric to determine what your starting salary is and then, with the exception of across the board pay increases, there is where you will forever remain. No realistic evaluation of skills upon hire. No merit increases. This results in high turnover in some departments, and little opportunity to attract qualified, quality replacements.

AISD pays the least of all Austin area school districts but expect more considering that the students in most of the lower economic areas are not performing at grade level. They rarely fail students due to statistic that show that failing before entering high school decreases the drop out rate. The student demographic (minus the few higher end neighborhood) is comprised of mostly Title 1 qualifying student populations with little to no parental support. Therefore, students enter each grade level primarily illiterate.
