Georgetown ISD or Round Rock ISD? Comparing Two Strong High Schools
East View High School earned a C overall rating on the 2024-2025 TEA accountability report (Texas Tribune). Round Rock High School earned an A overall rating (Texas Tribune). The two campuses sit in separate districts within a short drive of each other in the greater Austin area, and the multi-tier rating gap is meaningful for buyers weighing school zones in this market.
So what explains the gap? And more importantly, what does it mean for your home search? I have been selling homes in this area for 19 years, and these are the kinds of questions I help buyers work through every week. Lets dig into the data.
