How to confirm your address is zoned to Lost Pines
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 That's the source of truth, not the real estate listing, which can carry outdated school data, especially in a county growing as fast as Bastrop.
Or ask me. Send me an address or a Camp Swift or north Bastrop 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.
