About Lake Travis Independent School District
Lake Travis ISD split from Dripping Springs ISD in 1981 to serve the growing Lakeway and Bee Cave corridor. What was once a quiet lakeside community has become one of Austin's fastest-growing luxury markets, and the schools grew with it. The district invested $147M in a bond-funded renovation of Lake Travis High School in 2018, built Bee Cave Middle School from the ground up in 2019, and earned a district-wide TEA 'A' rating. The football program put the district on the national map with five consecutive state championships from 2007-2011 - a Texas first - and produced NFL quarterbacks including Baker Mayfield's freshman season. But academics are the real story: a 98% graduation rate, 80% AP pass rate, and SAT scores averaging 176 points above the state mean.
Why Families Choose Lake Travis ISD
Families choose Lake Travis for the combination of strong academics and the Hill Country lifestyle that surrounds it. The district runs 11 campuses with three middle schools, giving families options within the system. Bee Cave Middle earned a perfect TEA 'A' in its first rating year. For families relocating from out of state, Lake Travis feels familiar - suburban infrastructure, modern school facilities, strong athletics - but with Hill Country scenery and lake access that nowhere else in Austin matches. 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 Lake Travis ISD
Lake Travis ISD covers three ZIP codes (78734, 78738, 78669) with dramatically different price points. Spicewood (78669) is the value play, with newer communities like Rough Hollow and Loraloma offering Lake Travis schools at lower entry points. The district's 'A' rating and football dynasty created a brand that drives demand from both local move-up buyers and out-of-state relocations. 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.
What Families Say About Lake Travis ISD
“We moved from Houston and knew almost nothing about the west side of Austin. Joe spent a full afternoon driving us through Bee Cave, Lakeway, and the 620 corridor so we could see the differences for ourselves. He was upfront that Bee Cave had grown fast and that traffic on 71 was something to plan around. We appreciated that honesty. Ended up in a four-bedroom off Hamilton Pool Road and our kids are thriving in Lake Travis ISD. Joe checked in on us a month after closing just to see how we were settling in.”
— J. Carter (Buyer), Bee Cave
“We built our Canyon Ranch house twelve years ago and were worried it would be a hard sell given how much new construction is nearby. Cara put together a pricing strategy that highlighted what our home had that the new builds don't — mature landscaping, a finished garage workshop, and established trees. Sold in under a month for asking price. She really understood how to position an older home in a new-build market.”
— K. Nguyen (Seller), Canyon Ranch
