Summer Application Specific Information

The summer application process is much the same as the regular application process. The major differences are:

  1. Summer applicants do not take the CogAT admission test.
  2. Summer applicants do not provide teacher recommendations.
  3. The maximum score is 15, rather than 25.
  4. All applicants are asked to submit their final year report cards from the past two school years.

AISD is closed June 26-July 5. Please use the Application FAQ and the Summer Application Specific FAQ to answer any questions you may have during that time. Starting on July 6, 2026 you may email jo.koerth@austinisd.org or call 512-414-5272 with any questions you may have. 

Summer Application Specific FAQ

Q: Why is LASA offering summer applications?
A: We recognize that our residency requirements are very strict. Families who are moving to AISD from out of state are rarely able to establish residency by the February deadline. As such, if seats become available we can offer a second round of applications in the summer if district approves it.

Q:Why are there no teacher recommendations for summer applications?
A: Teachers are off-contract during the summer and may not be reachable.

Q: Why do current AISD students have to submit their report cards?
A: LASA does not have access to report cards from other AISD schools in the summer.

Q: I’m a student at an AISD school, how do I access my report card?
A: Your latest report card is available in the parent portal under the "Student Documentation" tab. If you do not have your report card from the 2024/2025 school year, you can reach out to your school and request a copy.

Q: When and how will I find out whether I was accepted or not?
A:  You will receive a decision by July 17, 2026.
