Bastrop High School

Bastrop is one of those Texas towns that feels like it's on the edge of something — close enough to Austin to feel its pull, but still holding onto its small-town identity along the Colorado River. Bastrop High School serves a community in transition, drawing families who want a more affordable, rooted lifestyle outside the city while still staying connected to the metro. Academics are developing, and families who get involved and take advantage of available resources tend to find a supportive environment where their kids can build real connections in a school that genuinely knows its students by name.
