About Dripping Springs Independent School District
Dripping Springs ISD is the Austin metro's fastest-growing luxury district. The community passed a $402M bond with 70% voter support to fund a second high school and new campuses - a signal of confidence in where this corridor is headed. The district serves 8,500+ students across 8 campuses in northern Hays County, stretching from downtown Dripping Springs through Driftwood to the Belterra master-planned community along Highway 290. Known as the 'Gateway to the Hill Country,' Dripping Springs High School had the lowest dropout rate in the Austin metro at 0.2% in 2022-2023, and Rooster Springs Elementary earned a perfect TEA 'A' across all categories. Three campuses earned A ratings in the 2025 TEA cycle.
Why Families Choose Dripping Springs ISD
Families choose Dripping Springs for space, value, and trajectory. Belterra remains one of Austin's most successful master-planned communities with homes from $500K-$1.2M, and the Driftwood corridor offers custom home sites on larger acreage. The district is young enough that families feel ownership in shaping it - PTAs are active, bond elections pass, and new schools are built to modern standards rather than retrofitted. The tradeoff is commute time: downtown Austin is 25-35 minutes depending on traffic. For current pricing, pair the school assignment with live MLS median price, price bands, active inventory, and recent sales-through on the relevant neighborhood or ZIP guide before making an offer.
Real Estate in Dripping Springs ISD
Dripping Springs real estate has appreciated faster than any other school district corridor in the Austin metro over the past five years. The 78737 ZIP (Belterra/Sawyer Ranch) has seen particularly strong growth as tech workers seek more space without leaving the Austin orbit. The upcoming second high school (funded by the 2024 bond) will further strengthen property values as it reduces overcrowding and adds another quality campus to the system. For current pricing, pair the school assignment with live MLS median price, price bands, active inventory, and recent sales-through on the relevant neighborhood or ZIP guide before making an offer.
