Teravista Earned an A in Round Rock ISD. Raye McCoy Earned a C in Georgetown ISD. The District Line Changes Everything.
Teravista Elementary in Round Rock ISD earned an A on the 2025 TEA accountability rating (Texas Tribune). Raye McCoy Elementary in Georgetown ISD, about six miles north, earned a C (Texas Tribune). 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 grade gap is meaningful, but so is the price difference. Closed sales over the last 12 months show a median around $430,000 in the Raye McCoy zone and around $475,000 for Teravista (Neuhaus Realty Group VOW data, ACTRIS MLS, trailing 12 months). That is roughly $45K more for a campus that earned an A versus a C. 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.

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. An overall A rating is exactly what buyers in a growth corridor want to see, because it means the campus 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. Closed-sale medians over the past 12 months sit around $475,000, with the full range from the mid $400s to the mid $700s (Neuhaus Realty Group VOW data, ACTRIS MLS). The feeder pattern runs through Hopewell or Walsh Middle School 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 accountability rating has not caught up to the facilities. An overall C is a disappointing result for a campus in a relatively well-resourced corridor.
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 roughly $430,000 closed-sale median offers a slightly lower entry point than Teravista (Neuhaus Realty Group VOW data, ACTRIS MLS, trailing 12 months).
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
- A strong School Progress score matters to you
- The Round Rock ISD feeder pattern 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 (roughly $430K vs $475K median) matters
- You want a smaller campus
Teravista is the clear academic winner here. An A versus a C on the TEA accountability rating is hard to overlook. The roughly $45K closed-sale median premium for Teravista is reasonable given the school quality difference. For buyers focused on elementary performance, this one is not close.
