Saving Maplewood Elementary is about building on community success, and ensuring fair and equitable outcomes for east Austinites. Why?
Because Maplewood is:
-
Maplewood is 94% full based on its zoned population, making it an easily walkable, true neighborhood school.
-
Maplewood is the only A-Rated school on AISD’s closure list. Data shows kids’ academic scores decline after closures—we can’t risk this outcome.
-
Including all expenses, Maplewood costs 21% less per student than the average AISD Elementary Schools.
-
Maplewood contributes to Cherrywood's walkability, bikeability, and the I-35 cap & stitch initiative championed by Austin’s City Council.
