Dripping Springs ISD serves the growing area of northwest Hays County. Currently, the district operates five campuses along with a central administration office and a separate transportation and support service facility. Dripping Springs ISD received high marks on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) Academic Accountability Ratings for the 2009-2010 school year.
