Summary:
Zip code 78733 in Austin, Texas, is home to two exceptional schools within the highly-ranked Eanes Independent School District (Isd), serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade with no high school in the immediate area.
West Ridge Middle stands out as the top performer, ranking 28th out of 2,335 middle schools statewide (99th percentile) and earning a 5-star rating. Its advanced math program is particularly impressive, with nearly 97% of students proficient in Algebra I—far exceeding district and state averages. However, a notable anomaly appears in 7th-grade math, where proficiency dropped to 59% in the 2025-2026 school year, down from 82% the previous year, suggesting a possible curriculum or cohort change worth investigating. Barton Creek Elementary also excels, ranking 205th out of 4,627 elementary schools (96th percentile) with a 5-star rating. Its 6th-grade math performance is remarkable, with 96-100% proficiency, likely due to advanced students taking higher-level coursework. While consistently strong, Barton Creek shows slight variability in 5th-grade math (63% proficient) and science (65% proficient), which are still well above state averages.
Both schools benefit from low student-teacher ratios (11.2:1 at Barton Creek, 12.8:1 at West Ridge) and high per-student spending (over $10,000 each), creating a seamless educational pipeline within the district. The 0.0% dropout rate at West Ridge Middle further underscores the quality of this community. For parents, this area offers a cohesive, top-tier educational experience from elementary through middle school, with students likely transitioning to Westlake High School within the same district.
