Living in St Elmo Elementary

Bedichek Middle closed at the end of the 2025-26 school year under Austin ISD's consolidation plan; its former attendance zone covered south-central Austin including Garrison Park, Pleasant Hill, Sweetbriar, Battle Bend Springs, and the Manchaca Road / South Lamar corridor. The campus at 6800 Bill Hughes Road sits along Bedichek Drive in the Manchaca / Garrison Park area. Bedichek MS is named for Texas naturalist and writer Roy Bedichek (1878-1959).

The David Crockett High School attendance zone covers south-central Austin between Manchaca Road (south of Westgate) and IH-35, from Stassney Lane north to William Cannon. Neighborhoods include Westgate, Garrison Park, Pleasant Hill, Cherry Creek (north section), South Manchaca, Battle Bend Springs, Sweetbriar, and parts of South Lamar. The Crockett campus sits at 5601 Menchaca Road between Stassney and William Cannon.

Residential character mixes mid-century postwar (the original Westgate, Garrison Park, and Battle Bend Springs subdivisions from the 1950s-1970s) with newer infill along South 1st Street and the Manchaca corridor. Established neighborhoods cluster around the historic Manchaca and South 1st street grids. South Lamar's southern end runs through the zone's western edge with a mix of 1950s-1960s bungalows and 2000s-era condos.

Day-to-day retail centers on South Lamar (anchored by Alamo Drafthouse Lamar, Whole Foods Lamar, and the South Lamar restaurant strip), the Manchaca / Westgate corridor (HEB Westgate, Westgate Mall), and the Stassney Lane / IH-35 frontage. Sunset Valley's commercial district on Brodie Lane (just west of the zone) adds Whole Foods, Sprouts, REI, and the Sunset Valley shopping anchors. Healthcare access centers on St. David's South Austin Medical Center on Ben White Boulevard and Ascension Seton Southwest on US 290.

Outdoor recreation centers on the area's parks and creek corridors. Garrison District Park (89 acres on Manchaca Road) anchors mid-zone green space with sports fields, playgrounds, and the Garrison Recreation Center. Battle Bend Park and Pleasant Hill Park add neighborhood-scale recreation. The Williamson Creek Greenbelt runs east-west through the zone with multiple access points. Stephenson Nature Preserve along the Williamson Creek tributary preserves Hill Country oak savanna.
