Chandler Oaks: Round Rock ISD Excellence
Chandler Oaks is a standout campus in Round Rock ISD’s portfolio. The 93 with 2 TEA distinctions puts it among the district’s best. The school feeds into Walsh Middle School and then Round Rock High School, which scored a 95/100 in 2025. That K through 12 pipeline is about as strong as it gets in public education. At $412,500, you are getting an elite feeder path at a moderate price point by Austin standards. This is one of those zones I consistently recommend to buyers who prioritize academic outcomes.
Camacho Elementary: Newer Campus, Growing Community
Camacho is a relatively newer campus in Leander ISD serving the northern growth corridor. The school feeds into Danielson Middle School and Glenn High School. The C rating reflects a campus that is still finding its footing in a rapidly growing area where new neighborhoods are still being built out. The $374,950 median makes this one of the most affordable school zones in Leander ISD, and buyers looking for entry level pricing in a strong overall district often land here.
The Neighborhoods
Both schools draw from the north Austin corridor near the intersection of Leander ISD and Round Rock ISD boundaries. Chandler Oaks’ neighborhoods tend to be slightly more established, while Camacho’s zone includes newer development with active construction. The $37,550 price gap is modest and does not fully reflect the 21 point TEA difference.

Which School Fits You?
You might lean toward Chandler Oaks if:
- An A rated elementary feeding into A rated Round Rock High School is your ideal path
- TEA distinctions and top tier performance are priorities
- The $412,500 median fits your budget
You might lean toward Camacho if:
- Entry level pricing in Leander ISD under $375,000 is your target
- You value the broader Leander ISD brand and its newer facilities
- A growing neighborhood with new construction appeals to you
The data strongly favors Chandler Oaks here. A 93 vs 72 is not a subtle difference. And for only $37,000 more on the median, you get a dramatically better TEA score plus the Round Rock High School feeder path. That is hard math to argue with.
