Teravista Scored a 91 in Round Rock ISD. Raye McCoy Scored a 76 in Georgetown ISD. The District Line Changes Everything.
Teravista Elementary in Round Rock ISD earned a 91 out of 100 on the 2025 TEA accountability rating, a solid A. Raye McCoy Elementary in Georgetown ISD, about six miles north, scored a 76 and earned a C. Both schools serve the rapidly growing north Austin corridor, and buyers moving to this part of the metro often find themselves comparing homes across the Round Rock ISD and Georgetown ISD district boundary without even realizing they have crossed it.
The 15 point TEA gap is meaningful, but so is the price difference. The Raye McCoy zone has a median around $510,000 while Teravista sits at $554,950. That is about $45K more for a school that scored 15 points higher. Whether that premium is worth it depends entirely on what you are prioritizing, but I think the math works out in Teravista’s favor for most buyers who care about school performance.
Lets dig into the numbers and the neighborhoods.

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 | Raye McCoy Elementary | Teravista Elementary |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Rating | C (76/100) | A (91/100) |
| Student Achievement | C (77/100) | B (89/100) |
| School Progress | C (74/100) | A (91/100) |

| Closing the Gaps | F (57/100) | C (70/100) |
| Enrollment | 483 students (EE – 05) | 821 students (EE – 05) |

| English Learners | 3.7% | 17.8% |
| TEA Distinctions | 0 of 7 earned | 2 of 7 earned |
The biggest surprise here is Raye McCoy’s F in Closing the Gaps at 57. For a campus with only 23.4% economically disadvantaged students and 3.7% English Learners, that is a poor result. Teravista, which serves a higher percentage of English Learners (17.8%), managed a C at 70 in the same domain. Teravista also earned A scores in School Progress and Academic Growth (both 91), showing a campus that is pushing every student forward.
Teravista earned 2 of 7 TEA distinctions. Raye McCoy earned zero.

Teravista Elementary: Round Rock ISD’s Growth Corridor Star
Teravista serves the massive Teravista master planned community in northeast Round Rock, one of the largest and most active new home communities in the Austin metro. The campus is big at 821 students and growing. An A at 91 with A scores in School Progress and Academic Growth is exactly what buyers in a growth corridor want to see, because it means the school is keeping up with the enrollment expansion while maintaining quality.
The Teravista community itself offers pools, parks, trails, a community center, and the kind of amenity package that master planned communities are built around. Home prices range from the mid $400s to the mid $700s, with a median around $555K. The feeder pattern runs through Hopewell or Walsh Middle School (Walsh is an A rated campus at 93) and then to Cedar Ridge or Stony Point High School.
Raye McCoy Elementary: Newer Campus, Mixed Results
Raye McCoy is a newer Georgetown ISD campus serving the growth areas north of Round Rock. The school has a modern facility and draws from newer subdivisions in the southern Georgetown corridor. But the TEA scores have not caught up to the facilities. A C at 76 with an F in Closing the Gaps is a disappointing result for a campus with relatively low percentages of economically disadvantaged and English Learner students.
Georgetown ISD is a solid district overall, and buyers in the Raye McCoy zone have access to Georgetown High School and East View High School at the secondary level. The $510K median offers a slightly lower entry point than Teravista.
The Neighborhoods
Both zones feature newer construction in the north Austin growth corridor. Teravista is the larger, more established master planned community with extensive amenities. The Raye McCoy zone includes newer, smaller subdivisions in the Georgetown ISD portion of the corridor. Both have excellent access to I-35 and the employment centers along the 130 Toll.

Which School Fits You?
You might lean toward Teravista if:
- You want an A rated campus in a master planned community
- Strong School Progress and Academic Growth scores (both 91) matter
- The Round Rock ISD feeder pattern (including A rated Walsh MS) appeals to you
- A larger campus with more programming options is a plus
You might lean toward Raye McCoy if:
- You prefer Georgetown ISD and its secondary school options
- A slightly lower entry point ($510K vs $555K) matters
- You want a smaller campus (483 vs 821 students)
Teravista is the clear academic winner here. An A versus a C, a 15 point overall gap, and the F in Closing the Gaps at Raye McCoy is hard to overlook. The $45K price premium for Teravista is reasonable given the school quality difference. For buyers focused on elementary performance, this one is not close.
