About Ridgetop Elementary
Ridgetop Elementary was an Austin Independent School District campus serving grades PK-5. Austin ISD's Board of Trustees voted on 20 November 2025 to close the campus at the end of the 2025-26 school year under the district's school consolidation plan, and it did not reopen for 2026-27. Austin ISD reassigned the campus's students to other district schools, and Ridgetop's two-way dual-language program moved to Pickle Elementary. In its final reporting year the campus enrolled approximately 396 students with a pupil-teacher ratio of about 15:1.
The campus offered Gifted & Talented services, Special Education programming, and the standard AISD elementary curriculum. Ridgetop Elementary fed Lamar Middle for grades 6-8; Lamar Middle students then continued to McCallum High School.
Austin ISD operates 114 schools serving approximately 69,251 students as of the 2025-26 school year, including 11 traditional comprehensive high schools. AISD holds a "B" overall TEA accountability rating (81 of 100) for the 2025-26 accountability year — the most recent year TEA has rated. District administration is at 4000 South IH-35 Frontage Road in Austin (78704).
Living in Ridgetop Elementary
The Lamar Middle School attendance zone covers the Allandale / Brentwood / Crestview area between MoPac and Burnet Road. The campus at 6201 Wynona Avenue houses Lamar's Fine Arts Academy magnet program — one of AISD's two district-wide middle-school magnets (alongside Kealing's GT program). Lamar's attendance zone includes the historic Bryker Woods, Rosedale, and Highland neighborhoods east of MoPac.
The McCallum High School attendance zone covers north-central Austin between MoPac (Loop 1) and IH-35, from 38th Street north to Anderson Lane. Master neighborhoods include Hyde Park (Austin's first planned suburb, founded 1891), North Loop, Crestview, Brentwood, Allandale, Highland, North Shoal Creek, and the Triangle area. The McCallum campus sits at 5600 Sunshine Drive between Burnet Road and Lamar in the heart of north-central Austin.
Hyde Park preserves dozens of 1890s-1930s bungalows along its tree-lined grid streets between Speedway and 45th — Austin's earliest streetcar suburb. Crestview and Brentwood (built largely 1940s-1960s) feature ranch and mid-century-modern homes around Crestview Shopping Center and Brentwood Park. Allandale's wider lots line Burnet Road and Shoal Creek Boulevard. North Loop's eclectic 51st Street commercial frontage anchors a small but distinct neighborhood identity. The Triangle (a mixed-use development at 45th and Lamar) adds urban density on the zone's southern edge.
Day-to-day retail centers on the Burnet Road corridor (one of Austin's most active retail-and-restaurant strips, with The Tavern, Top Notch Hamburgers, and Bryan's Black Mountain BBQ as long-established anchors), the Anderson Lane retail district (Crestview Shopping Center, Northcross Mall site), 45th Street (Triangle), and North Loop's eclectic 51st-53rd Street shops and restaurants. Healthcare access centers on Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin (38th Street, just south of the zone) and Heart Hospital of Austin (38th Street).
Outdoor recreation centers on the area's parks and creek corridors. Shoal Creek Greenway runs along Shoal Creek Boulevard from 45th Street north toward the zone's northern boundary, with bike-and-pedestrian access. Brentwood Neighborhood Park and Allandale Park anchor mid-zone green space. Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park (just outside the zone to the north) is one of Austin's largest public parks. The Highland and North Loop neighborhoods host the Highland TOD redevelopment around the former Highland Mall (now ACC Highland campus).
