Austin Named "Reform Friendly" for Education

Austin has been recognized as being "reform friendly" for education according to a new study released by the Fordham Institute.

Austin earned a B grade, as did the other cities in the top 10. The study looked at six areas vital to reform in the nation's 25 largest cities, along with five other smaller communities.

“Austin should be on an entrepreneur’s short list of new locales: It finishes in the top twelve in most categories that we examined,” said the report. “With strong funding avenues, and respectable district environs and quality-control metrics, the city is a mostly welcoming host to nontraditional providers.”
