Dawson renewed my faith in public education. My brother is a public school teacher, and has long been telling me that public schools do a better job with working class kids, kids with disabilities and minority students (compared to charters and privates). Dawson proved him right.The Dawson model should be replicated across Austin ISD and Texas.(sidenote: I wish the upper echelon staff in our district would talk to parents and students and not look at schools through maintenance budgets. I wish trustees in the richer section of our town would see the schools through our eyes, and not shaded by upper echelon staff)

Dawson provides an amazing education with caring teachers. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. If I have to consider going elsewhere due to AISD school closures I will move out of AISD.

My daughter is in second grade. Since coming to Mollie Dawson Elementary she has learned important social skills, respect for diversity and improved her academic abilities. The teachers, staff and programs at Dawson Elementary are the best in the Austin ISD. The school is committed to maintaining a thriving, safe and inclusive school setting.

Dawson is AWESOME! This tight-knit community of faculty and staff members goes above and beyond to ensure the success of every student in every classroom, every day. The variety of programs offered and initiatives in which the school participates facilitates a well-rounded, yet targeted education that meets the needs of the diverse populations of students in attendance. The Dual-Language program has been successfully implemented from Pre-K through 5th grade, with the Two-Way Immersion model present in classrooms up through 4th grade. Additionally, Dawson teachers support bilingual special-education students, many of whom are received from other AISD campuses that do not offer these specialized services. Dawson also houses a Life Skills Unit (with one English and one Bilingual classroom) that similarly aids in serving students from neighboring campuses that do not have a Life Skills program. What more can I say? SO MUCH MORE! Instead, I encourage you to stop by and find out for yourself! School tours are offered upon request and will not disappoint. Call the office directly for more information at 512-414-2070. To put it in a nutshell, I wouldn't send my child to any school other than Dawson. You can't beat AWESOME!
