Bastrop ISD is the school district for the city of Bastrop (78602) and the surrounding area, running two comprehensive high schools, Bastrop High and Cedar Creek High, plus a nationally recognized early-college academy. It's one of the largest districts in the state by land area, and it's growing fast as families move out along the SH-71 and SH-130 corridors. Here's how the district maps to your home search: which high school serves where, and how to confirm the exact campus for an address.

| Cedar Creek (78612), west toward SH-71 | Bastrop ISD | Cedar Creek High |
