Carksville Area Schools



Mathews Elementary School, located at 906 West Lynn Street, was built in 1915 and is named after former school board member W. J. Mathews. In 2000, the school became part of the National Register of Historic Places and a designated Austin Landmark. It is an award-winning school with an exceptional faculty, and the most diverse elementary student body in Austin, Texas.
O. Henry Middle School, at west 10th and Exposition Blvd., is a well regarded school with a comfortably small student body, and a very supportive PTA.
Stephen F. Austin High School, at 1715 West Cesar Chavez, was recently named on a list of "Higher Performing" schools by the nonprofit National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA). Austin High offers the Academy for Global Studies, part of the International Studies Schools Network. Representing school pride is probably the most unique mascot in Austin, Mr. Maroo, a furry maroon ball who boast "loyal forever" on his cap.
