Buying in Georgetown ISD? How East View and Granger Compare
I get asked about East View High School and Granger High School more than you would think. Both are in Georgetown ISD, and buyers want to know which zone is the better call. TEA gave East View High School a C (75/100) and Granger High School a D (66/100). Lets dig in.
Both schools are part of Georgetown ISD, and I have shown homes in both zones for years. The neighborhoods have their own personality, the price points are different, and the day to day experience at each campus is its own thing. That matters more than most buyers expect when they first start their search.
Below, I will break down the full TEA performance data, walk through the neighborhoods zoned to each campus, and give you my honest take on which school zone fits different types of buyers. If you want the deep dive on either campus individually, check out the East View High School school page or the Granger High School school page.

East View High School: What the Numbers Say (and What They Don’t)
East View High School is one of Georgetown ISD’s premier campuses, serving students from some of the most vibrant and sought-after communities in Williamson County. As Georgetown has grown into one of Texas’s most celebrated cities, East View has expanded its academic programs, athletic achievements, and extracurricular opportunities to match.
With a C rating (75/100) from TEA, East View High School sits in the middle tier of Georgetown ISD campuses. The scores show a school that is doing solid work, even if there is room to push higher in some areas. The campus has been steady in recent years.
The school draws from neighborhoods including Georgetown, Wolf Ranch West, Parkside. The surrounding neighborhoods offer a range of housing options at accessible price points.
I have spent a good amount of time in this part of town, and East View High School is one of those campuses where you can feel the community investment the moment you drive through the neighborhood. The neighborhood is evolving and there is real opportunity for buyers who want to get in before prices catch up.
East View High School enrolls 2202 students, making it one of the larger campuses in Georgetown ISD. Larger schools can offer more programs, more extracurricular options, and a broader social experience. The tradeoff is that the campus can feel busier, but Georgetown ISD has invested in making sure its bigger campuses still run efficiently.
Granger High School: A Closer Look at This Georgetown ISD Campus
Granger High School offers students in eastern Williamson County a tight-knit educational experience within one of Central Texas’s most respected school districts, Georgetown ISD. The Granger zone blends rural Texas character with the advantages of a well-resourced district, giving students access to strong academics, extracurriculars, and a community that genuinely invests in its young people.
Granger High School earned a D (66/100) on its 2025 TEA accountability rating. That is below where most buyers would like to see it, and I will not sugarcoat that. But TEA scores are one lens, and the campus has aspects that do not show up in a spreadsheet.
The school draws from neighborhoods including Georgetown, Round Rock, Jarrell. The surrounding neighborhoods offer a range of housing options at accessible price points.
Buyers sometimes overlook campuses with lower TEA scores, but there is usually more to the story. If you are looking at homes in this zone, I would recommend visiting the campus and talking to people in the neighborhood before drawing conclusions from a number alone.
The Neighborhoods
There is a real price difference between these two zones. The Granger area has a median around $699,000, while the East zone comes in closer to $549,000. That $150,000 gap reflects differences in neighborhood age, lot size, finishes, and overall demand. Both are in Georgetown ISD, so the tax rate is the same either way.
One thing I always tell buyers: look at the neighborhood on a Saturday morning, not just a Tuesday at 2pm. You want to see who is walking dogs, who is out running, whether the parks are being used. That tells you more about the community than any listing description ever will. And yes, school zones affect resale value. That is just reality in this market.

Which School Fits You?
Every buyer has a different set of priorities. Here is how I would think about it.
You might lean toward East View High School if:
- TEA scores are a top priority and you want the higher rated campus

- You prefer the neighborhood character around the East View zone
You might lean toward Granger High School if:

Both campuses have their strengths, and the right choice depends on your priorities. If I were buying in this area, I would look closely at the feeder pattern, the neighborhood walkability, and what your daily commute looks like from each zone. The TEA scores matter, but they are not the whole story.
