The standout is the 97% graduation rate, and the overall grade sits above the district, so within Bastrop ISD, Cedar Creek is a relative strength. The proficiency and college-test numbers run low in absolute terms, which is worth knowing honestly, and it's why the specific programs and teachers can matter more than the headline grade.
What feeds into Cedar Creek
Cedar Creek sits at the end of the western Bastrop County attendance paths. Students arrive from a group of Bastrop ISD elementaries through the district's Cedar Creek middle school:
Which elementary a home feeds through depends on the exact address, and the western Cedar Creek side of the county generally feeds Cedar Creek High rather than Bastrop High. Because Bastrop ISD has two high schools and boundaries shift as the county grows, I always confirm the current elementary, middle, and high school for a specific address before you write an offer.

Homes in the Cedar Creek High School zone
Cedar Creek serves the western side of Bastrop County, the Cedar Creek area between the Austin side and the city of Bastrop, including newer communities like Double Eagle Ranch along with established acreage and rural homesites. This is where a lot of buyers find more land and newer construction within reach of the Austin airport and the SH-71 corridor. The thing to know: Bastrop ISD is split between Cedar Creek High and Bastrop High, so the assigned high school changes across the county. If the school matters to you, I confirm the zone for the exact address. For the full picture of the Bastrop market, see my Bastrop living guide.
Out here the school zone and the property itself both need checking. Bastrop ISD splits between Cedar Creek and Bastrop High, and many Cedar Creek homes sit on acreage with a septic system and a well, which is a different due-diligence process than a subdivision. I confirm the current high school and walk you through the land questions for every address, so you know exactly what you're buying, before you fall for it.
How to confirm your address is zoned to Cedar Creek
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. That's the source of truth, not the real estate listing, which can carry outdated school data, especially in a fast-growing county like Bastrop.
Or ask me. Send me an address or a Cedar Creek area community you're considering and I'll confirm whether it's zoned to Cedar Creek or Bastrop High, pull the current elementary and middle school, and flag anything, like a boundary that's about to change, that affects your decision.
