Liberal Arts & Science Academy (LASA), Westlake, and Westwood High School are arguably the three best high schools in Central Austin area.
The Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LASA) cultivates a rigorous, intellectually-driven environment where students engage in advanced STEM and liberal arts exploration; 100 % of recent seniors were accepted to four-year universities. Meanwhile, Westlake High School, part of Eanes ISD, is regularly ranked among Texas’s top public schools with stellar proficiency rates and a nearly 98 % graduation rate. Lastly, Westwood High School in Round Rock ISD offers a strong mix of AP and IB programming, solid academics with proficiency well above state averages, and a 99 %+ graduation rate. Together, these institutions stand out for academic excellence, college preparation, and sustained student achievement in the Greater Austin region.
Table below compares the 2025 college enrollments between the three schools. Overall, LASA, Westlake, and Westwood all

The Williamson County real estate market continues to adjust in 2025, reflecting a balance between stabilizing prices and increasing inventory. The median sales price, which peaked during the pandemic housing surge, has moderated over the past two years while inventory levels have climbed significantly. Closed sales and new listings indicate a market that is less frenzied but still active, with more choices for buyers and longer timelines for sellers. Below, we dive into the September 2025 data and compare it to the same month last year and two years ago to understand where the market stands today.

The Travis County housing data shows September 2025 has lower median price than the same month one and two years ago, but more transactions than 2024 (and roughly in line with 2023), with substantially greater inventory (active listings and months of inventory), a classic sign of a more buyer-friendly market compared with the very tight market conditions of 2022–early 2023.
1) Median sale price — trend and interpretation Peak and decline: The median sale price in this dataset peaked around mid–2022 (e.g., May 2022 median $659,000), then declined through 2023 and bottomed/softened in 2024. Recent movement: For the year-level picture, median medians were: 2022 median (series median): $560,000 2023 median: $526,250 2024 median: $511,250 2025 year-to-date median: $523,400
So after a multi-year drop from 2022 highs, 2025 shows a partial stabilization / modest rebound relative to 2024 (2025 YTD median ≈ +2.4% vs 2024 median), but remains below the

Takeaway from the snapshot: Median price is down slightly vs last year (and more so vs 2023), while inventory (active listings & months of inventory) is meaningfully higher. Closed sales rose modestly vs Sep 2024 and are roughly flat vs Sep 2023. New listings are lower than both 2024 and 2023, even as active listings sit much higher — a signal that listings are staying on market longer.
