Lago Vista Middle School Attendance Zone Map
Lago Vista ISD has just one campus at each grade level: Lago Vista Elementary (early education through 3rd grade), Lago Vista Intermediate (4th and 5th), Lago Vista Middle School (6th through 8th) and Lago Vista High School (9th through 12th). That means every home inside the Lago Vista ISD boundary is zoned to Lago Vista Middle School. There are no internal attendance zones to check.
The district covers the City of Lago Vista, Point Venture and part of the Jonestown area, including The Hollows on Lake Travis. A Jonestown or Leander mailing address does not guarantee Lago Vista ISD, though, since much of Jonestown is served by Leander ISD. To confirm a specific address, look up the property on the Travis Central Appraisal District site, which lists the school district among its taxing entities, or call Lago Vista ISD at (512) 267-8300.
