The honest take

## Which family fits which district.

-   · Academics-above-all and budget is not an issue: Eanes wins. 94 TEA, 88% STAAR reading, lower tax rate — but $1.9M median entry. 
-   · Value buyer who wants near-A-rated schools: DSISD wins decisively. Same general academic tier 5 points back, $1.3M less at the median, and 2.3x the school quality per dollar. 
-   · Eanes inventory is constrained and mostly luxury resale; DSISD is still adding new construction (Headwaters, Caliterra, Double L Ranch) — meaning more options, but also more rezoning to watch.
