Leander ISD vs Round Rock ISD: A Cross District Elementary Comparison
Chandler Oaks Elementary posted an A with 93 out of 100 on the 2025 TEA report. Camacho Elementary scored a C with 72. That is a 21 point gap between two elementary schools that sit in different school districts but serve overlapping regions of north Austin. Chandler Oaks is in Round Rock ISD. Camacho is in Leander ISD. Trailing 12-month median home prices in the school ZIPs are $500,000 near Chandler Oaks (78681) and $472,506 near Camacho (78641) per Austin MLS closed sales.
This is a comparison that crosses district lines, which is unusual but useful because many buyers in the north Austin corridor are choosing between Leander ISD and Round Rock ISD properties that are literally on the same road. Understanding how the schools compare helps you make a more informed choice about which side of the district boundary to land on.

TEA School Performance Comparison (2025)
The Texas Education Agency evaluates every public school annually across multiple performance domains. Here is how both campuses performed in the 2025 accountability cycle.
| Performance Metric | Camacho Elementary | Chandler Oaks Elementary |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Rating | C (72/100) | A (93/100) |
| Student Achievement | D (60/100) | A (93/100) |
| School Progress | C (71/100) | A (93/100) |
| Closing the Gaps | C (73/100) | A (92/100) |
| Enrollment | 601 students (EE – 05) | 548 students (EE – 05) |
| Economically Disadvantaged | 47.4% | 10.9% |
The gap here is substantial. Chandler Oaks scores an A across all three TEA domains. Camacho’s Student Achievement score of 60 (a D) is the weak spot, though the school earns a C in Closing the Gaps, which suggests students from all groups are making measurable progress. The demographic profiles are very different: Camacho has 47.4% economically disadvantaged students while Chandler Oaks is at 10.9% (Texas Tribune).

Chandler Oaks: Round Rock ISD Excellence
Chandler Oaks is a standout campus in Round Rock ISD’s portfolio. The overall 93 (an A) puts it among the district’s best elementaries. The school feeds into Walsh Middle School and then Stony Point High School, which earned a B (88/100) in the 2024-25 TEA cycle. At a $500,000 trailing 12-month median in 78681, you are paying near the Austin metro median for a top-rated elementary feeder. This is one of those zones I consistently recommend to buyers who prioritize early academic outcomes.
Camacho Elementary: Newer Campus, Growing Community
Camacho is a relatively newer campus in Leander ISD serving the Leander growth corridor. The school feeds into Knox Wiley Middle School and Leander High School. The C rating reflects a campus that is still finding its footing in a rapidly growing area where new neighborhoods are being built out. At a $472,506 trailing 12-month median in 78641, the zone runs roughly $27,000 below 78681 (Chandler Oaks area) on the closed-sale median.
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 roughly $27,000 ZIP-median price gap is modest relative to the 21 point TEA score difference.

Which School Fits You?
You might lean toward Chandler Oaks if:
- An A rated elementary feeding into Walsh MS and Stony Point HS works for you
- The roughly $500,000 ZIP median fits your budget
You might lean toward Camacho if:
- A 78641 ZIP median near $472,500 fits your budget
- You value the broader Leander ISD brand and its newer facilities
- A growing neighborhood with new construction appeals to you
The data favors Chandler Oaks on the academic side. A 93 vs 72 is not a subtle difference. For roughly $27,000 more on the ZIP median, you get a higher rated elementary. The middle and high school feeder difference (Walsh MS and Stony Point HS for Chandler Oaks vs Knox Wiley MS and Leander HS for Camacho) is closer than the elementary gap suggests, so the long-term pipeline trade off is more nuanced than the elementary scores alone imply.
