Frequently Asked
Is Tarrytown or Westlake Hills better for schools?
Quick Answer
Westlake Hills and Rollingwood are zoned to Eanes ISD, widely considered the strongest public school district in Texas across the entire K-12 pipeline. Tarrytown is zoned to Austin ISD's Casis Elementary, the single most sought-after elementary assignment within AISD, feeding into O. Henry Middle School and Austin High School. Eanes offers district-wide consistency; Casis offers a standout elementary school within a larger district. The right choice depends on whether you prioritize one excellent early school or a top-tier system all the way through high school.
