About Eanes Independent School District
Eanes Independent School District covers approximately 11.7 square miles of western Travis County and serves the City of West Lake Hills, most of Rollingwood, and adjacent neighborhoods inside Austin city limits — including Lost Creek, Davenport, Rob Roy, Seven Oaks, and Cuernavaca. Voters approved the formation of an independent district by a 207-48 vote on April 12, 1958, choosing to stay separate from Austin ISD when Travis County's rural-school system was wound down. The district is named after Robert Eanes, who moved to Texas in 1872 and that same year built the first school on his property with neighbor George Norvell.
The district enrolls approximately 7,532 students across 9 campuses: five elementary schools (Barton Creek, Bridge Point, Cedar Creek, Eanes, and Forest Trail), two middle schools (Hill Country Middle and West Ridge Middle), one high school (Westlake), and an Adult Transition Services program for students aged 19 and older. District administration is at 401 Camp Craft Road in West Lake Hills. Westlake High School opened in 1969, transforming what had been a small-school system into a full K-12 district. Until the end of the 2024-2025 school year, Eanes operated a sixth elementary — Valley View — which the school board voted in January 2025 to close and merge into Barton Creek Elementary, effective fall 2025, as part of a $2 million annual cost-saving measure tied to a multi-year budget deficit.
Eanes ISD has earned an "A" overall accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency for both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years, scoring 94 of 100 in each year. Multiple campuses hold U.S. Blue Ribbon School designations, including Westlake High School, Hill Country Middle, West Ridge Middle, Barton Creek Elementary, and Eanes Elementary. At the high-school level, Westlake competes in UIL Class 6A and has won four state football championships (1996 in 5A; 2019, 2020, and 2021 in 6A) and its 13th boys golf state title in 2023 (the program's sixth consecutive). The Class of 2024 produced 35 National Merit Semifinalists, applied to 519 colleges and universities, and was admitted to each of the eight Ivy League schools.
Topography across the district is hilly and heavily wooded, with limestone outcroppings and frontage along Lake Austin and Bee Creek. Loop 360 (Capital of Texas Highway) is the primary north-south route through the district, with the Pennybacker Bridge carrying Loop 360 over Lake Austin near the northern district line. Bee Caves Road (RM 2244) is the principal east-west route. The Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve (227 acres along Loop 360, managed by St. Edward's University) sits inside the district; the northern trailheads of the Barton Creek Greenbelt and the Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave sit immediately at its borders.
Living in Eanes Independent School District
The Eanes ISD area is overwhelmingly residential. The district's two incorporated cities — West Lake Hills and Rollingwood — together account for under 5,000 residents, with the balance of the district falling inside Austin city limits or unincorporated Travis County. Both incorporated cities maintain their own police departments and small municipal governments, with West Lake Hills City Hall at 4010 Bee Cave Road and Rollingwood City Hall at 403 Nixon Drive.
Housing inside the district is predominantly single-family. West Lake Hills had a population of 3,444 at the 2020 Census, with a 2022 median household income of $151,488; Rollingwood had a 2020 Census population of 1,467. Several Eanes-zoned neighborhoods along the district's northern edge — Davenport, Rob Roy, and parts of Westlake Highlands — include parcels on or near Lake Austin.
Commute access defines the area's connection to the wider region. Loop 360 (Capital of Texas Highway) runs north-south through the zone and connects to MoPac (Loop 1), with Bee Caves Road (RM 2244) providing the primary east-west route. Downtown Austin sits east of the district via the Pennybacker Bridge or Bee Caves Road; the Domain corridor sits north along MoPac.
Day-to-day retail is limited inside the district itself, clustering at Davenport Village, West Woods Shopping Center on Bee Caves Road, and the small commercial strip near the West Lake Hills city center. The Hill Country Galleria — a larger open-air shopping and dining center — sits in Bee Cave directly west of the district line. Recreation inside the district centers on the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, the northern trailheads of the Barton Creek Greenbelt, Lake Austin frontage, and the Westlake-area parks system. The Eanes Education Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3), runs annual fundraising campaigns to support classroom programs across the district.
