About Old Town Elementary
Old Town Elementary is part of Round Rock ISD, a district that consistently earns recognition as one of the top-performing school systems in the Austin metro area. Round Rock ISD has built that reputation over decades through a commitment to rigorous academics, strong gifted and talented programming, dual language pathways, and a robust range of STEM and fine arts opportunities that begin at the elementary level and carry students all the way through graduation.
The school takes its name from the historic Old Town district at the heart of Round Rock, the city's original settlement where Brushy Creek once served as a crossing point on the Chisholm Trail. That sense of history gives this part of Round Rock a warmth and rootedness that newer developments simply cannot replicate. Old Town Elementary serves kindergarten through fifth grade, and parents in the zone often mention that the campus has exactly the kind of community feel where staff know students by name and neighbors actually talk to each other. It is the kind of school zone where buying a home means becoming part of something, not just picking a zip code.
