Elgin Intermediate

Elgin Intermediate serves a small-town community about 30 miles east of Austin, where Bastrop County's wide-open spaces and tight-knit feel attract families looking for a quieter pace without straying too far from the city. Academically, the school faces real challenges across the board, particularly in math and science, so families who prioritize strong core academics may want to factor that into their decision. That said, Elgin's community has a genuine hometown character, and families already rooted in the area often value the close connections and local identity that come with a smaller district like this one.
