Falls Creek School started out as a school in 1886 near the Blanco County line located in Southwest Travis County at the intersection of Hamilton Pool Road & FM 12. School was taught in a single one room log cabin. For the first 2 years is when Falls Creek School operated as a county school for Travis County Common School District. Falls Creek School also was known as Fall Creek School.
In 1888, Falls Creek School District No. 55 was established. Falls Cree School District bordered the county lines of Blanco County and Burnet County. Students from Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Hamilton Pool, and Cedar Valley attended this school.
For the latter half of the late 19th century, only grades 1 through 8 were taught at this school. Grades 9 through 12 were added later. The school became a 1-9 school in the 1890s. Eventually Falls Creek School upgraded from a log cabin to a white frame box building that was one story.
1941 is when Falls Creek School consolidated into Marble Falls ISD and the school district was abolished. The other half of the school district consolidated into Johnson City ISD in 1942 during the 1941-1942 school year. Falls Creek School stopped appearing on maps by 1942. By 1942 the school was gone.
Falls Creek School was located at the intersection of Hamilton Pool Road (FM 3238) & FM 12, Dripping Springs, Texas, US 78620.
