Dripping Springs Middle

Dripping Springs Middle sits in one of the fastest-growing corridors southwest of Austin, where Hill Country views meet a tight-knit community that still feels like small-town Texas despite the rapid development nearby. The school punches well above average across the board, with a particularly standout science program that ranks in the top 5% statewide — a real draw for families with kids who love hands-on, inquiry-based learning. If you're relocating to the Dripping Springs area for the lifestyle — the wineries, the open land, the slower pace compared to Austin proper — the middle school is a genuine reason to feel good about the move.
