Hornsby-dunlap Elementary

Hornsby-Dunlap sits in the 78724 zip code on Austin's eastern edge, a part of the city that's grown considerably as families have been priced out of more central neighborhoods but still want to stay connected to everything Austin offers. Del Valle ISD serves a largely working-class community, and families here tend to be deeply rooted and community-minded. Academically, the school faces real challenges — scores are below state averages across the board — so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to weigh their options carefully, though those committed to the neighborhood and invested in being active school partners may find a tight-knit community worth showing up for.
