School Overview

Jack C Hays High School sits in Buda, one of the fastest-growing towns south of Austin, where new subdivisions and a small-town feel somehow still coexist. The school holds its own academically — especially in math — making it a solid choice for families relocating to the area who want a large, well-resourced high school without the Austin price tag. If you're drawn to the Hill Country fringe of the metro and want your kids in a school that's growing alongside the community, Hays High is worth a close look.
