Cypress Springs Elementary

Tucked into the rolling Hill Country landscape of Driftwood, Cypress Springs Elementary is a standout in the already strong Dripping Springs ISD, with particularly impressive English scores that rank in the 95th percentile statewide. The area attracts families drawn to wide-open spaces, a slower pace of life, and a tight-knit community feel — think ranch-style homes, cedar trees, and neighbors who actually know each other. For families settling into this corner of Hays County, Cypress Springs offers the kind of solid, well-rounded academics that make the longer drives into Austin feel very much worth it.
