Hudson Bend Middle Attendance Zone Map
Hudson Bend Middle School serves the Lake Travis Elementary and Lakeway Elementary zones and most of the Serene Hills Elementary zone. That covers the Hudson Bend peninsula, Apache Shores, Cardinal Hills, Travis Landing, the Hills of Lakeway, Flintrock at Hurst Creek and most of the original City of Lakeway.
Lake Travis ISD does not publish an elementary-to-middle-school feeder chart. Elementary and middle school zones were drawn separately (elementary zones last changed for 2023-24, middle school zones for 2019-20), so a few elementary zones split between two middle schools. Before you write an offer, look up the exact address in the LTISD street directory, since boundaries can change between the day a home is listed and the day a family enrolls.
