Eanes Independent School District (EISD) (pronounced EEN-ss) is a school district in West Lake Hills, Texas (USA), which is part of the Austin metropolitan area. Its enrollment is approximately 7,700, distributed among six elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. All nine schools are rated Exemplary - the highest designation possible - in the State of Texas 2009 accountability ratings, marking the second consecutive year for that accomplishment. The district's overall state is Exemplary, making Eanes ISD one of just two 5A districts in the state to receive that designation in 2009. Only 9.5 percent of districts statewide are rated exemplary.
