Summary

Bee Cave Elementary is a high-performing PK-5 school in the Lake Travis Independent School District (Isd) in Austin, TX, serving 785 students and consistently earning top-tier academic rankings, including a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2025-2026 school year. What truly sets Bee Cave apart is its remarkable commitment to equity: the school has achieved a dramatic turnaround for its economically disadvantaged students, jumping from the 44th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 98th percentile in 2025-2026. Similarly, its special education program has soared from the 68th percentile to the 95th percentile in just one year, demonstrating highly effective interventions that close achievement gaps for all learners.

Bee Cave excels in specific academic areas, with a standout 100% proficiency rate on the 6th Grade STAAR Math exam for four consecutive years—far exceeding district and state averages. The school also serves its Hispanic student population exceptionally well, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide. Interestingly, while Bee Cave is a top performer, it faces stiff competition within its own district: Lake Pointe Elementary (ranked 45th, 99th percentile) and Rough Hollow Elementary (ranked 218th, 95th percentile) are direct, high-achieving rivals. Across district lines, Laura Welch Bush Elementary (Leander ISD) and River Ridge Elementary (Leander ISD) also rank in the 98th and 96th percentiles, respectively, creating a highly competitive educational landscape in the area.

Despite its elite results, Bee Cave operates with notable efficiency, spending just $8,933 per student—lower than nearby schools like Barton Creek Elementary (Eanes ISD) at $10,183 and West Cypress Hills Elementary (same district) at $9,851. This lean budget underscores the school's effective resource allocation. However, within the Lake Travis ISD, there is a notable performance divide: Lake Travis Elementary ranks in the 73rd percentile, highlighting the socio-economic and achievement differences across the district. For parents, Bee Cave Elementary offers a proven track record of inclusive excellence, particularly for students who need the most support, making it a standout choice in the Austin area.
