发帖数: 8 | 1 Hi, I am going to move to Austin and looking for excellent public schools,
both high school and middle school. Any recommendations and/or personal
experience?
I searched Internet and seems like Westlake and Westwood are the top 2.
There is also a new high school in Leander ISD called Vangegrift High School
, greatschools.com gives it score of 10, but seems like it's a brand new
high school. Does anyone know about this high school?
Thanks in advance. |

发帖数: 1899 | 2 Three top high schools in Austin area: Westlake High, Westwood High and LASA
(Liberal Art & Science Academy). Middle schools: both west ridge MS and
Hill country MS that feed Westlake High are good. Not sure about MSs that
feed Westwood High. |

发帖数: 8 | 3 Thanks so much! Have you heard about Vandegrift high school from Leander ISD
? Also, any insight about Steiner Ranch? I found Steiner Ranch community is
pretty popular and there are lots discussion about it, and all kids there go
to Vandegrift high school. Westlake and Westwood are great high schools,
but house in both school boundaries are pretty old which we don't like.

发帖数: 1899 | 4 I have some friends live in Steiner Ranch, it is in Leander ISD. The High
school is OK, not bad. If you like new houses, there are some, but not many
in Eanes ISD, but pricy. Lake Travis ISD is a good ISD and Lake Travis HS is
a good HS too. There are lots of new houses building along 620. |

发帖数: 8 | 7 Very interesting suggestion. I would like to learn more about why you think
Lake Travis HS is better than Vandegrift HS. I also checked city-data.com
Austin forum, and there are quite some discussions around Lake Travis HS but
not much about Vandegrift. And seems like the opinions about Lake Travis HS
is a bit split.
Also, which high school has better middle school feed? thanks so much!

Lots of new houses built over there are upscale. I have no doubt that Lake
Travis HS will be in tier one HSs in Austin area in the near futhre. |
