Colorado River Collegiate Academy

Colorado River Collegiate Academy is a standout charter-style option within Bastrop ISD, consistently ranking among the top schools in Texas with particularly strong English and Science results. It's a natural fit for academically motivated families who want rigorous college-prep coursework without leaving the charm of small-town Bastrop, a laid-back Hill Country-adjacent community along the Colorado River that's grown steadily as Austin's eastern suburbs have expanded. Families who want big-city academic ambition in a town where you still know your neighbors tend to find it a great match.
