AUSTWELL-TIVOLI ISD

Situated in the coastal community of Tivoli, Texas, Austwell-Tivoli Independent School District serves as an essential educational anchor for families across the area. Headquartered at 207 Redfish Street, this active, traditional public school district operates two school facilities that provide a continuous educational pathway from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade. Defined by its distant rural setting, the district offers a close-knit, community-focused learning environment. As a standalone public school entity independent of charter networks or supervisory unions, Austwell-Tivoli ISD focuses its resources on delivering comprehensive academic and extracurricular opportunities tailored to the needs of its rural student population.

According to federal educational records for the 2024–2025 school year, the district maintains an intimate learning environment with a total enrollment of 141 students. The student body reflects a rich cultural mix, predominantly composed of Hispanic (82 students) and White (57 students) scholars, alongside Black and multiracial representation. A defining feature of the district is its exceptional staffing ratio: with approximately 36 full-time equivalent teachers, nearly 7 instructional aides, and over 29 dedicated support personnel contributing to a total staff workforce of around 72 full-time equivalents, the district maintains an extraordinarily low student-to-teacher ratio of under 4 to 1. For parents, students, and educational researchers, this high concentration of faculty relative to student enrollment highlights a deep commitment to individualized instruction, close student mentorship, and robust academic support.
