Eric Dahlstrom Middle

Tucked into the fast-growing community of Buda, just south of Austin, Eric Dahlstrom Middle consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Texas, with particularly strong math scores that reflect a rigorous, well-supported academic program. Families who've relocated to the Buda area for its newer neighborhoods, small-town feel, and easy Austin access will find this school a genuine asset — the kind of place where academic expectations are high without losing sight of the whole kid. It's a great fit for families who want a suburban lifestyle with real proximity to Austin's opportunities, paired with a school that can actually deliver on the academic side.
