    DSISD Schools Zoned to Sunset Canyon (and the Bus Situation)

    Sunset Canyon Homes · Dripping Springs, TX 78737

    Sunset Canyon is zoned to Dripping Springs ISD (DSISD), one of the highest-rated public districts in the Austin metro. Current zoning:

    • Elementary: Walnut Springs Elementary (most of the subdivision)
    • Middle: Dripping Springs Middle School
    • High: Dripping Springs High School

    Zoning can shift as DSISD opens new campuses — always re-verify on the district's attendance-zone lookup with the exact street address.

    Bus pickup

    DSISD provides bus service to Sunset Canyon. Stops are at the main subdivision entrances rather than individual driveways. Expect a 15–25 minute ride to the elementary depending on stop order. High-schoolers with cars overwhelmingly drive.

    Open enrollment & transfers

    DSISD's transfer policy changes year to year and is competitive. If you're banking on a specific campus outside your zone, treat it as a maybe, not a plan.
