Smithville Elementary

Smithville Elementary sits in the heart of a small, tight-knit river town along the Colorado River, about an hour from Austin — the kind of place where people know their neighbors and school events actually bring the whole community out. The school shows particular strength in math, which is a nice bright spot for families who prioritize STEM foundations in the early grades. It'll appeal most to families drawn to small-town life with an easy drive to the city, where the slower pace and strong community ties are just as much a part of the education as what happens in the classroom.
