Baranoff Elementary School in Southwest Austin
If you are a parent in the southwest Austin area, you probably have heard about the many charms of the Baranoff elementary school. If you are a parent who is considering moving to the Southwest Austin area, you will want to get familiar with the Baranoff Elementary building which offers schooling to children grades k-5. Known for its academic excellence, and a high quality of instructors and teaching techniques, some parents want their children to become Baranoff Buffaloes so wholeheartedly that they even move into the Baranoff school district once their kids reach elementary age!
One of the reasons why parents try so hard to get their young children into the Baranoff elementary school is because it has received an exemplary rating under the guidance of esteemed principal Linda Purvis, from the TEA association for many years in a row. In fact, Baranoff is well equipped in almost every area that parents could want for their young children, and can even boast of 100% parent and staff participation in PTA activities, which is also a near impossible feat. The simple truth is, that education that is received from Baranoff elementary school is a conducive comprehensive experience in which family and educators work together to make sure every child excels.
Plus, since a child is most likely to continue to excel in the same manner with which they did in elementary school, if for no other reason, you want your child to experience a strong foundation and attitude towards education in their younger years. Thus, people who live in South Austin consistently battle for homes within the school district of Baranoff and for open enrollment slots that may be left open after the district fills its classes with students who receive automatic acceptance by boundary lines.
The average teacher at Baranoff has about 15 years of teaching experience compared to the Texas state average of 11 years, and only roughly 4% of the teachers within the elementary school are just beginning. This means you can trust your students are in good hands, especially since the average teacher to student ratio is 1 to 20. Additionally, Baranoff has excellent standards for all students who have special needs, ranging from emotional disabilities to physical disabilities to mental disabilities to gifted and talented classes. The aim of Baranoff is to make sure each student is taken care of individually so that everyone grows together to the best of their own personal ability.
Additionally, students who attend Baranoff start learning a second language early, which studies have shown is the best way to become bilingual. Plus, students have band, choir, and theater open to them as extracurricular options to further stimulate their minds along with art classes.
