Is Newton Collins Elementary a good school?
Here's the honest read. Newton Collins grades C- overall on Niche, below the Del Valle ISD C+, and it's a fast-growing campus right in the middle of Easton Park's build-out. There are real bright spots: math proficiency around 44% and reading around 45% both clear the district averages (24% and 34%), which is genuinely strong for the area. About 78% of students are in the free-lunch program, the ratio is a low 13:1, and the teacher grade is a C.

The standout is that both proficiency scores run well above the district, uncommon for a campus graded C- overall, paired with a low 13:1 ratio. As Easton Park keeps growing, the school is worth watching, and the specific programs can matter more than the headline grade.

Homes in the Newton Collins zone (Easton Park)
Newton Collins sits on Apogee Boulevard, the spine of Easton Park, one of southeast Austin's largest master-planned communities, with new construction from the major builders, a big amenity center, trails, and quick access to Highway 130, the airport, and downtown. It's one of the most active new-home corridors in the metro, often at a lower price per square foot than closer-in Austin. The thing to know: Easton Park is in Del Valle ISD, not Austin ISD, even though the mailing address says Austin. If the school matters, I confirm the exact zone.
Easton Park is where a lot of buyers land for the new construction and the price per foot, and the number one school question I get is 'wait, which district is this?' It's Del Valle ISD, and Newton Collins is usually the elementary, feeding Ojeda and Del Valle High. The address says Austin, but the schools don't. I make sure you know exactly what you're buying, before you're under contract.
How to confirm your address is zoned to Newton Collins
Use Del Valle 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 That's the source of truth, not the real estate listing, which can carry outdated school data.
Or ask me. Send me an address or a Easton Park 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.
