There's an exception.  The Eames public school district almost always ranks ahead of any local public schools here.  It's in the Weslake part of Austin.

There are a couple of private schools with fantastic college placement -- and the price is about half of what top schools in DC charge.  So, don't let schools be the reason not to move to Austin.   [/quote]

It's Eanes ISD - we were looking there.  It is where most of the Dell execs live (hence the crazy amount of multi million dollar properties in that district).  We, of course, could NOT afford those homes, and were going to have to settle for probably a house in need of repair for less than $400K.  We were in love with the neighborhood we had zeroed in on, though.  Here's a current listing - actually not in bad shape for the money: http://www.realtyaustin.com/idx/homes/texas/austin/78746/3418-pinnacle-rd/4813933.html

There are some very good elementary schools in Austin ISD (or at least, there were - they are GUTTING public schools in TX).  We were pretty excited about Gullett Elementary school.  The magnet HS in AISD is always listed in the top HS's magazines (LASA).

We were looking into an IB immersion school in downtown as an option, which was still only $1K/month.  Much cheaper than anything comparable here.  There are also charter schools, but a lot of them are income/area limited - we wouldn't have qualified.[/quote]
