Austin is a rural city in southeastern Minnesota, about 100 miles due south of Minneapolis. This fairly secluded community is home to the headquarters of Hormel Foods Corporation, and frequently bills itself as “SPAM Town USA” (there’s even a Spam museum downtown). In the winter, locals love going to Austin Bruins hockey games at Riverside Arena, and Bandshell Community Park regularly hosts unique community events in the warmer months. The historic charm, cozy atmosphere, and affordable cost of living have landed Austin on countless lists of best small towns in the United States. The affordable rental market features a diverse selection of options for any budget or lifestyle.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
