This is the worst school ever. They don't have the ability or capability to watch all the children. It is a complete chaos, my child wandered a lot alone and if it wasn't for this town being small I would have not know because the teachers didn't ever tell me. I heard from old friends that worked there or from family members picking up there kids and calling to tell me. My child also got lost this year and is now home doing home school. This district and the other two is full of discrimination. This is from my personal experience with them and as a mom; enough is enough. Think about your child foremost.

"Dog owners love the dog park and they wouldn’t like all the stray cats and dogs that are out and about but for the most part it’s a dog friendly neighbor hood "

"This is a great place to live as long as you don't have to drive into Austin every day or if you don't mind the 1 hr.+ drive. There is a private lake in the subdivision that is managed by the HOA along with a private swimming pool. Good roads and within just a few short min. to beautiful Buescher state park, lakes and the Colorado River. Shopping is a short drive away in near by Smithville, Home of the movie " Hope Floats" and many more. Some of the best BBQ you can find in the state comes from Smithville! Located between Bastrop and La Grange you have the best of both worlds with country living and the conveniences of being in town. This property would be ideal for the retiree or a young family! A real must see. It really is a great home, Nothing like it in this price range!"
