What schools are near Shady Hollow?
Baranoff Elementary School on 12009 Buckingham Gate Road and Casey Elementary School on 9400 Texas Oaks 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 We do not publish attendance zones, because a zone we printed last year is not a zone you can rely on this year.
