Trustees approve Third Future Schools to turn around Mendez Middle School

The Austin ISD Board of Trustees has approved Third Future Schools to turn Mendez Middle School’s academic performance around as part of what’s called an 1882 partnership.

Why it matters: Mendez has been rated as an “F” school by the Texas Education Agency since 2013. If the campus doesn’t improve academics during the 2022-23 school year, or the Texas Education Agency could take over the district.
