Walnut Springs Elementary

Walnut Springs Elementary sits in Dripping Springs, a fast-growing Hill Country community southwest of Austin that still manages to hold onto its small-town charm — think local festivals, open land, and neighbors who actually know each other. The school consistently performs well across the board, with particularly strong science scores that stand out even within a competitive district like Dripping Springs ISD. Families drawn to a tight-knit community with room to breathe outside the city, but who still want rigorous academics, tend to find a great fit here.
