The district is fed by one comprehensive high school (Dripping Springs HS), with elementary and middle school assignments varying by neighborhood. Always verify the specific assignment through the DSISD boundary tool before writing an offer. ## The DSISD Structure Dripping Springs ISD operates one comprehensive high school — Dripping Springs HS — plus Sycamore Springs Middle, Dripping Springs Middle, and a growing roster of elementary campuses (Walnut Springs, Dripping Springs Elementary, Rooster Springs, Sycamore Springs, and Cypress Springs). The district covers a large geographic footprint, so feeder assignments vary meaningfully by neighborhood. ## Common Feeders by Neighborhood Belterra and Sunset Canyon typically feed Rooster Springs Elementary and Sycamore Springs Middle. Caliterra and Headwaters feed Dripping Springs Elementary or Walnut Springs depending on phase. Howard Ranch, Vineyard Ridge, and the Driftwood corridor feed Walnut Springs Elementary and Sycamore Springs Middle. Every neighborhood feeds into Dripping Springs HS. ## What Makes DSISD Different DSISD is one of the few Hill Country districts where the public option competes seriously with private schools on academic rigor. AP offerings, dual-credit pathways, FFA, and a strong arts program all sit inside the public system. For families used to budgeting $20K–$40K per child per year in private tuition, that's a real line-item swing. ## The Resale Effect DSISD zoning is a measurable driver of resale value across all of 78620 and 78619. Identical homes outside the district line consistently trade at a discount of 10–20% versus comparable inventory inside DSISD. Always verify the specific assignment before making any offer. ## Ready to Talk Driftwood? Jennifer Ferrara knows this market at the neighborhood level. No pressure, just straight answers.
