Which school zone is moving the most homes in Hays County? The answer lies in sales volume, not test scores or reputation. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 294 closed sales in October 2026 to rank elementary attendance zones by transaction activity. Hemphill Elementary leads the county with 35 closed sales, followed by Laura B Negley with 23 and Dripping Springs with 21. This ranking reflects where buyers are actively closing deals, providing a clear view of market demand by school zone. The median sale price in the Hemphill zone was $270,999, while the Dripping Springs zone saw a median of $454,990 across 21 sales. It is important to note that this analysis ranks zones strictly by the number of homes sold. A higher sales count indicates more market activity in that attendance area, but it does not imply superior educational quality or school ratings. Schools are identified only by their attendance zone and ranked by volume of transactions. The data covers all closed sales in Hays County for October 2026. The top five zones by activity include Hemphill, Laura B Negley, Dripping Springs, Hernandez, and Jacobs Well. Each of these zones had at least 15 closed sales during the month, meeting the minimum threshold for inclusion in this ranking. ALEX Intelligence estimate, not an appraisal. Want a closer look?
