What schools are near Cat Mountain?
Doss Elementary School on 7005 Northledge Drive and Murchison Middle School on 3700 N Hills Drive stand in or beside the neighborhood. That is where the campuses are, not a statement about who attends them. Austin ISD assigns schools by street address, and assignments can change. Check the current one for a specific property with Austin ISD School Finder, which is the authoritative source. We do not publish attendance zones, because a zone we printed last year is not a zone you can rely on this year.
