The Lakeway community continues to be a hot market, and among the attractions is its stellar school district. What began in 1981 as a one-school ISD with 500 students across a 118-mile territory has grown today to nine campuses, with 1,050 employees serving a whopping 8,800 students.

Brad LancasterThe JKD Builder team had the privilege of hearing LTISD Superintendent Brad Lancaster share details about the district at the November Home Builders Association Lakeway/Bee Caves Chapter meeting.

“We’ve seen astonishing growth in the Lake Travis district,” he said, noting nearly 70% growth in the study body in the last 10 years alone. “We have 600 new students move to the district this year, and the projection is that we will be at 13,085 by 2022.”  There’s not been a single year in which LT school enrollment hasn’t been on the uptick.

Why are people moving here? Lancaster says several factors make the Lake Travis schools a draw:

  • Consistently high state passing rates;
  • A highly educated population  – nearly 60% of Lakeway area residents have bachelor’s degrees or higher.
  • A high median income level, in excess of $87,341.
  • A low economically disadvantaged population (14%)
  • And, a strong positive perception of the school district.

JKD Builder’s custom home in the heart of Lakeway is a rare chance to live steps from tennis, pools, gym, trails, lake access – and award-winning schools!
