Liberty Hill Independent School District serves approximately 10,469 students across 13 campuses in western Williamson County, centered on the city of Liberty Hill roughly 35 miles northwest of downtown Austin. The district covers approximately 120 square miles of Hill Country and Blackland Prairie terrain along Highway 29 and Ronald Reagan Boulevard.
