About Hill Country Middle

Hill Country Middle School, one of two middle schools in Eanes Independent School District, serves grades 6-8 from a campus at 1300 Walsh Tarlton in West Lake Hills. The school enrolled 946 students for the 2024-2025 school year with a pupil-teacher ratio of approximately 13:1. The principal is Kimberly Dewrell. Hill Country was established in 1975 as the district's first dedicated middle-school campus, and it has since received U.S. Blue Ribbon School designation — one of five Eanes ISD campuses to earn the federal recognition, alongside West Ridge Middle, Barton Creek Elementary, Eanes Elementary, and Westlake High School.

The campus offers Gifted & Talented services, Special Education programming, Social Emotional Learning curriculum, and a comprehensive fine-arts program covering band, choir, drama, and orchestra. Athletics include the standard UIL middle-school slate that prepares students for Westlake High School's 6A program. As an Eanes ISD campus, Hill Country sits inside a district that earned an "A" overall accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency for both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 (94 of 100 each year). The district as a whole serves about 7,532 students across 9 campuses with roughly 1,154 staff per the most recent NCES district detail.

Hill Country Middle is the receiving middle school for three Eanes ISD elementary feeders — Bridge Point, Cedar Creek, and Eanes Elementary. All Hill Country students continue to Westlake High School, the only high school in the district. Westlake competes in UIL Class 6A and has won four state football championships (1996, 2019, 2020, 2021), with the Class of 2024 producing 35 National Merit Semifinalists and earning admission to all eight Ivy League schools. The campus phone is 512-732-9220, and the school's website is hcms.eanesisd.net.
