Expert Insight

Angie's Take

Angie Ufomata

Former teacher · 9 years in Round Rock ISD

Dripping Springs is special. The district consistently earns top marks, class sizes stay small, and the Hill Country setting gives kids something you can’t quantify on a rating card. Families who move here do it for a lifestyle decision as much as an academic one. The trade-off is distance from central Austin and higher property taxes — but every Dripping Springs family I’ve worked with says it’s worth it.
