About Bartlett Independent School District
Bartlett Independent School District serves approximately 400 students across two campuses in the town of Bartlett, which straddles the Bell and Williamson county line roughly 45 miles northeast of Austin. The district covers a swath of Blackland Prairie farmland along State Highway 95 and Farm Road 487, with the Union Pacific railroad tracks running through the center of town. Bartlett was established in the 1880s as a railroad shipping point for cotton and grain, and the town's original commercial district along Clark Street remains largely intact with early-20th-century storefronts. The district boundary extends north toward Holland, east toward Rogers, and south toward Granger, encompassing predominantly agricultural land used for cattle ranching, hay production, and row crops.
Real estate within Bartlett ISD consists primarily of single-family homes on large lots within the town limits and rural acreage properties on the surrounding farmland. In-town homes typically range from $150K for older frame houses to $350K for updated homes on half-acre or larger lots. Properties with 5 to 20 acres list from $300K to $600K, and larger ranch tracts of 50 or more acres can reach $800K depending on improvements and road frontage. Manufactured homes on rural lots are common and start around $100K. New construction is limited, as most building activity in the area is individual custom homes or barndominiums rather than subdivisions. The median home price in the district is approximately $225K, making it one of the most affordable areas within commuting distance of the Austin metro.
Bartlett ISD operates two campuses: Bartlett Elementary, which serves pre-K through 6th grade with approximately 250 students, and Bartlett High School, covering 7th through 12th grade with approximately 150 students. The small enrollment allows for close teacher-student interaction, with student-to-teacher ratios well below the state average. Bartlett High School competes in UIL Class 1A athletics and has a competitive six-man football program. The FFA chapter is one of the most active extracurricular programs, consistent with the agricultural character of the community. The district has earned TEA Met Standard accountability ratings. The nearest private school and larger school district options are in Georgetown and Temple, each about 25 minutes away.
Bartlett is located approximately 45 minutes from downtown Austin via US-79 and I-35. Georgetown is about 25 minutes southwest, and Temple is about 25 minutes west along Highway 95 and I-35. The Samsung semiconductor fabrication facility in Taylor is approximately 15 miles south, bringing new employment opportunities to the area. Most Bartlett residents commute to jobs in Georgetown, Round Rock, Temple, or Taylor. The town itself has a post office, a volunteer fire department, a small number of restaurants and local businesses, and the Bartlett Activities Center that serves as the primary community gathering space. Groceries and most retail services require a trip to Georgetown or Taylor.
