Summary After looking at the results for Austin Middle School we can acknowledge that when it comes to Infrastructure and Technology the campus is Advanced and headed in the right direction. In the other three areas Austin Middle School is in the developing stage. Data indicates that there is no growth in the three areas, it would be interesting to investigate what changed from 2008 to 2011.
