Update: Valley View Elementary Closed at the End of 2024-25
Valley View Elementary in Eanes ISD closed at the end of the 2024-25 school year as part of district cost-saving measures tied to a projected budget shortfall. That changes the school-zone math for buyers who were originally weighing Lakeway Elementary against Valley View. If you came here looking at that comparison, the practical question now is what zone Valley View students were rezoned into and how the remaining Eanes ISD elementaries stack up against Lakeway Elementary in Lake Travis ISD.
Lake Travis ISD and Eanes ISD both still earn the state’s top marks at the district level. Both districts received an A rating from TEA in 2025. The lifestyle difference between the two zones has not changed: Lakeway is a planned resort community built around golf, the lake, and the 620 corridor, while the West Lake Hills and Rollingwood area sits closer to downtown Austin with established neighborhoods and some of the most coveted real estate in the metro.
