Eanes ISD prides itself on preparing students for success in college and beyond. Approximately 99% of Westlake High School’s graduating class submitted college applications, and many matriculated to prestigious, world-class universities. EISD and Westlake HS have national reputations for excellence. Westlake ranked among the top US high schools in Newsweek magazine. EISD schools earned recognition from other sources, including US News & World Report, Children at Risk organization and Texas ACT Council. Preparation for academic success is a joint effort between high-quality staff, student effort, involved parents, supportive community and a curricular focus that promotes collaboration between teachers.
District goals address student achievement, learning opportunities that prepare students for the future, exemplary employees who are actively committed to improving their practice, a safe learning environment, an effective and efficient allocation of resources, and community engagement.
