Austin ISD School Ratings 3 year history

Keep in mind again that the school's accountability rating is just one way of looking at a particular campus. Calls to school administrators, other parents and a campus visit all together will give you a basis for deciding which school is right for your child. However if you wonder how schools in this district compare to other schools in the area when it comes to the TAAS Rating, here is an Across District School Comparisons for the last three years. (If there is no rating it could be perhaps because the school is new. It takes two years to be given a rating.)

St. David’s Urgent Care Kyle is now OPEN!!!!

By: Ashley Messer

I'm all about conveniences and now we Kyle & Buda residents have one more thing to add to our quickly growing list of "Things that make life easier"!

St. David's Urgent Care Kyle is now open and ready for business. Located in the Kyle Marketplace Shopping Center at 5401 S. FM 1626 STE 140, it is just minutes from Plum Creek. No worries for those of you in Buda either with a less than 10 minute drive!

Now it wasn't totally awful to drive to CTMC in San Marcos when you were in need of a hospital and many of us use a doctor located in Kyle already, but what about a weekend emergency? You could spend a whole day in the emergency room and I'm sure your family doctor isn't open @ 5pm on a Sunday! With Urgent Care Kyle now open there is no need to wait for your doctor's office to open on Monday morning or to drive to San Marcos and sit in an emergency room. Urgent Care Kyle takes care of things such as colds, pneumonia, fevers, broken bones, backpain, migraines and more for adults and children.

St. David's Urgent Care Kyle will include a six-room clinic with X-ray and a lab. Physicians and staff at the new clinic will provide care for patients during standard business hours, after hours and on the weekends without the wait of a hospital emergency room.

Open from 8am to 8pm Monday-Saturday and 11am-7pm on Sunday. P: 512-268-3824

We hope you and your family don't have an immediate need for Urgent Care, but it is nice to know that is it just around the corner!
