About schools in Bastrop County

Six districts spread across Bastrop County's pine-edged landscape produce a notably uneven academic picture — most of its 27 ranked public schools cluster in the middle or lower half of statewide performance, with just one school cracking the top quartile. That standout is Colorado River Collegiate Academy in Bastrop, ranking at the 95th percentile and anchoring the county's upper tier on its own. Smithville Elementary and Mina Elementary represent solid mid-range options. Families prioritizing consistent district-wide strength may find the county a mixed prospect, though Colorado River Collegiate Academy alone makes Bastrop County worth a closer look.
