Friday was report card day for Texas school districts. The Austin Independent School District received higher marks compared to 2009.
Last year, the Texas Education Agency rated eight of Austin's schools as "unacceptable." This year, Austin's East Side Memorial Green Tech High School was the only school to receive that rating.
Green Tech parent Diane Allison was not surprised.
"Even when I was in high school I heard a lot about the school and how bad it was," Allison said. Her daughter graduated from the troubled school this year. She believes that students are the problem and not their teachers.
"And the parents say the teachers aren't teaching right, when they really are and your kids are just not paying attention," Allison said.
