Smithson Valley High School

Tucked into the Texas Hill Country just north of San Antonio, Smithson Valley High School sits in one of the fastest-growing corridors in the state — and it's kept pace academically, landing in the top 15% of Texas high schools. Families relocating to the Spring Branch and Canyon Lake area are often drawn here by the combination of strong across-the-board academics and the laid-back, outdoorsy feel of Hill Country living, where the Guadalupe River and rolling cedar-covered hills are practically in the backyard. It's a great fit for families who want a well-rounded suburban school experience without fully leaving the natural beauty of the region behind.
