How to confirm your address is zoned to Cedar Creek Elementary
Use Bastrop ISD's official boundary lookup. The district publishes a find-my-school tool where you enter an address and it returns the assigned elementary, middle, and high school.

Or ask me. Send me an address or a the Cedar Creek community pocket you're considering and I'll confirm the zone, pull the current middle and high school on the path, and flag anything that affects your decision.
