What are the best school districts in Austin, TX?

I have heard great things about the Eanes school district, but the home prices in that district are out of reach for us. Leander ISD seems a bit too far. I understand Austin ISD and the schools on the east side aren't great.
Is Round Rock a good option if I am commuting 3 days a week to downtown Austin? How long does that drive take? Wife generally prefers newer subdivisions perferably with good neighbood amenities - parks, pools, basketball/tennis courts etc.
TIA for any tips folks (especially parents) that live in Austin and know the area can provide.

I have been to Round Rock and it seemed like a good area to me, but i was there on business and did not get to do a lot outside work, so TIFWIW

Friend of mine works for Eanes and endorses it. From what I’ve gathered through conversations I’d stay away from Leander. Dripping Springs and Lake Travis are good options too but the commute might suck.
ETA: I see Leander is rated #2 behind Eanes, it might just be that certain areas of the district aren’t great.

Round Rock is fine. Vandergrift, Cedar Park, Hutto, Lake Travis, basically any suburban school is a college compared to Louisiana public schools. The inner city public schools get a bad rap here, but are pristine compared to La.
Bowie High in south Austin is a great school as well. If you don’t mind a commute. My pick would be San Marcos, New Braunfells.

I live in Liberty Hill (great school district and high school sports) and drive downtown once a week. Takes me about 30 min going to work when I leave around 6:50am. Coming home is about 15 min longer.

I feel like cedar park is the answer you seek

How much money you planning for a house?
Northwest Hills is Austin ISD and good schools but you'll need a million.

Commuting to DT is going to suck from anywhere.
I've had 0 complaints about leander isd. Newer schools. Highly rated.
I'd def pick living in cedar park or georgetown over Round Rock.

For rush hour you should prepare for an hour commute to Round Rock I would think. My advice to you if you are dead set on living in burbs, and you value your life, would be to pick the ones off of Mopac like Cedar Park. If Google says best route is I-35 to downtown, cross it off the list.
I’ve lived here for 7 years and it kind of feels like not getting on I-35 is some kind of cheat code.

LISD isn’t that far out.
GISD is good.

I'm an idiot for various reasons and one of those reasons is for not moving to ATX 2 years ago when I had the chance. Prices have nearly doubled..
I wonder if property tax percentage rates go down by half since they aren't providing new/additional services when home values go up?

I’m in round rock and can get to my new office off of 7th in 27 minutes, but that’s way before rush hour.
We’re likely heading to bell county next year, but that’s likely too far and rural for what you’re looking for.

Tell me how you vote and I'll decide whether to recommend our school district.

Lake Travis ISD is extremely solid.
I have a senior and middle schooler in LTISD.
Consistently high academic ratings nationally.

The one as far away from ATX as possible. Preferably out of that sinking ship of a state.

Some real good advice on here by many people. Not one to post often but I do believe you should be thinking not only the ISDs but also the schools within them. Which ones will fit your kids best, whether it is sports, academics, extra curricular activities etc.
Your work will have so much to do as well with where you want to be, the type of people you want to live around. My believe is It is the North and NW areas of Greater Austin that will be a better fit for most Families. Can give you much more info if wanted.
