Austin Elementary School (Dunwoody, Georgia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Austin Elementary School is a primary school located in Dunwoody, Georgia.
Initially, it was designed to serve grades one through seven. In 1978, eight additional classrooms were added as well as a kindergarten program. In 1985, due to the closing of Dunwoody Elementary School, two hundred students and eleven teachers joined the Austin student body and staff. In 1988 upon the opening of Peachtree Junior High School, which housed grades seven through nine, Austin became a kindergarten through sixth grade school. In 1995 Austin welcomed its first pre-kindergarten class. As of September 1, 1998 the sixth grade students are housed at Peachtree Middle School (formerly Peachtree Junior High School) making Austin a pre-kindergarten through fifth grade school.
[edit] Special Education
Austin had a special education service until the year 2004, when-due to a growing number of students-it began to be used for regular education. It was located in the school basement and-although special education students petitioned-they were not allowed to vote until the regular education students had moved into the basement, also.
