ZIlker’s Stand
Below please find links to Zilker Elementary’s letter to the Facilities Task Force from January 13, 2011, as well as a press release from January 19, 2011.
Zilker has a long track record of strong academic achievement. Any urban school, regardless of demographics, is hard‐pressed to maintain such a strong track record over an extended period of time, especially campuses with diverse student ethnicity and incomes. Zilker’s sustained trajectory of high academic achievement is especially impressive given our school’s demographics: 58 percent Anglo, 42 percent students of color, 35 percent eligible for free and reduced school lunch and 15 percent receiving special education services and accommodations.
