Crockett Early College High School

What Crockett Early College High School does

Crockett Early College High School is a public four-year high school serving grades 9 through 12 within Austin Independent School District in south Austin, Texas. The school operates tuition-free under Texas state public-education funding and AISD appropriations, with attendance governed by residential zoning and the district's application process.

The school's academic offering is built around a college-readiness core anchored in the AVID framework, for which Crockett holds National Demonstration School designation. It layers dual-credit and dual-enrollment pathways through a partnership with Austin Community College (Early College High School designation) and the University of Texas OnRamps program, allowing students to earn transferable college credit alongside their high-school diploma. P-TECH programming, Advanced Placement coursework, and the AVID college-readiness system form the instructional backbone.

Career and technical education is delivered through two notable hands-on facilities: a 9,200 square-foot Construction Technology lab staffed with credentialed industry instructors, and Salon Crockett, an in-house cosmetology client-facing lab functioning as both a CTE practicum and a community service touchpoint. Fine arts, athletics, and student-club programming round out the offering. The school operates without tuition revenue, generates nominal community-service fees through Salon Crockett, and is funded primarily through state per-pupil appropriations and AISD allocations; expansion is governed by district capacity and the 2026-27 General Enrollment opening for non-zoned applicants.
