A $77,000 Price Gap and a 7-Point TEA Gap Between Two Williamson County Schools
The Village Elementary in Georgetown ISD closed homes at a median of $397,700 over the last 12 months. Teravista Elementary in Round Rock ISD closed at $475,000. That is a $77,300 spread between two elementary zones that sit roughly fifteen minutes apart on either side of the Georgetown / Round Rock line.
The TEA gap runs the same direction. Teravista pulled an A (91/100) in the 2025 accountability cycle. The Village pulled a B (84/100). Both schools earned 6 of 6 distinctions, which is the elementary max, so neither one is coasting. But the underlying domain scores tell a more interesting story than the letter grades, and the neighborhoods on each side of that line are not interchangeable. Lets walk through it.
The Village vs Teravista: Quick Comparison
| The Village Elementary | Teravista Elementary | |
|---|---|---|
| TEA 2025 Rating | B (84/100) | A (91/100) |
| Enrollment | 485 students | 821 students |
| Grades | PK – 05 | EE – 05 |
| District | Georgetown ISD | Round Rock ISD |
| Median Closed Price (12mo SFR) | $397,700 (n=94) | $475,000 (n=101) |
| Feeds Into | Forbes / Benold / Tippit MS, then East View or Georgetown HS | Hopewell MS, then Round Rock or Stony Point HS |
TEA School Performance Comparison (2025)
The Texas Education Agency evaluates every public school annually across three performance domains: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps. Here is how both campuses performed in the 2025 accountability cycle.
| Performance Metric | The Village Elementary | Teravista Elementary |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Rating | B (84/100) | A (91/100) |
| Student Achievement | C (75/100) | B (89/100) |
| School Progress | B (87/100) | A (91/100) |
| Closing the Gaps | C (77/100) | A (92/100) |
| Enrollment | 485 students (PK – 05) | 821 students (EE – 05) |
| Economically Disadvantaged | 42.7% | 22.7% |
| English Learners (EB/EL) | 36.1% | 17.8% |
| TEA Distinctions | 6 of 6 earned | 6 of 6 earned |
The 7-point overall gap (84 vs 91) lands mostly in Student Achievement (a 14-point gap, 75 vs 89) and Closing the Gaps (15-point gap, 77 vs 92). School Progress is the closest domain, with only 4 points separating the two. Both schools earned every single distinction the state awards at the elementary level (6 of 6), which is worth saying out loud because it means both are getting recognized for specific strengths in reading, math, science, academic progress, closing the gaps, and postsecondary readiness.
The Village serves a notably higher share of economically disadvantaged students (42.7% vs 22.7%) and a higher share of English learners (36.1% vs 17.8%). That does not excuse the lower scores, but it does explain why a head-to-head TEA comparison between these two campuses is not exactly apples to apples. The Village’s rating climbed from C to B over the last two cycles, which is real movement in the right direction.

The Village Elementary: Georgetown’s Established Neighborhoods
The Village zone is one of the more settled parts of Georgetown. You see it in the streets: mature trees, established lots, homes that were built when Georgetown was still a small Texas town rather than the fastest-growing city in the country. Oakmont, Quail Meadow, the Country Club area near the Georgetown golf course, plus Sierra Vista and Oakcrest Estates make up the bulk of the inventory. A portion of Sun City Georgetown falls inside the geographic boundary too, though Sun City is 55+ and does not feed students into the school.
At 485 students, The Village is on the smaller side for an elementary campus, which can be a real advantage if you want a school where teachers know your kid by name from kindergarten on. The school feeds three different middle school options (Forbes, Benold, or Tippit) depending on your specific address inside the zone. After middle school, students go to either East View or Georgetown High, both of which are strong Georgetown ISD high schools with their own distinct cultures.
The median closed price of $397,700 over 94 transactions in the last twelve months is the headline here for buyers. That is the most affordable elementary zone in any of the high-performing Georgetown ISD or Round Rock ISD schools we cover. If you want the Georgetown ISD ecosystem and a real neighborhood feel under $450K, this is one of the few places left where that math still works.
Teravista Elementary: A Master-Planned Anchor on the Round Rock ISD Side
Teravista is a different animal. The campus serves 821 students, almost double The Village, and sits at the center of one of the largest master-planned communities in northern Williamson County. Teravista has its own golf course, multiple pools, parks, and miles of trails. The homes are mostly 2000s and 2010s construction with consistent HOA standards across all the sections (Sec 07, 09, 12, 20, 21), plus Traditions at Vizcaya on the higher end and Haven/Teravista Condos for buyers who want the address without the yard.
Teravista feeds into Hopewell Middle School and then either Round Rock High or Stony Point High. Round Rock ISD is one of the more competitive districts in the state at the high school level, and having two strong high school destinations in the same feeder is genuinely valuable for long-range planning. The 91 TEA score and 92 in Closing the Gaps make this one of the top performing elementaries on the Round Rock ISD side of Georgetown, full stop.
The median closed price of $475,000 over 101 transactions reflects what you would expect from a well-amenitized master-planned community with strong schools. You pay roughly $77K more than The Village zone, but you also get the amenity package, newer construction, and the Round Rock ISD high school feeder.
The Neighborhoods Side By Side
The character difference is bigger than the TEA gap. The Village zone is established Georgetown: tree-lined streets, varied housing stock, the historic downtown square a short drive away, and the kind of neighborhood identity that comes from people having lived there for a long time. Inventory ranges from cozy two-bedroom homes to four-bedroom homes on larger lots, plus the occasional land parcel for a custom build.
Teravista is the opposite end of the spectrum: master-planned, amenity-rich, walking-distance pools and parks, consistent build quality from one street to the next. Most of the homes are 3, 4, or 5 bedroom configurations, mostly built in the 2000s and 2010s, on right-sized suburban lots. The community feel is very different from established Georgetown, and that is the actual decision buyers are making here.
Both zones share easy access to I-35 and Toll 130 for north Austin commutes, the Domain, and central Austin employment. Browse all homes zoned to The Village Elementary or homes zoned to Teravista Elementary.
Which School Fits You?
This is one of those Williamson County decisions where the right answer depends on which trade-off you actually want.
You might lean toward The Village if:
- A median price near $397K vs $475K matters to your budget
- You want established neighborhoods with mature trees and varied housing stock instead of master-planned uniformity
- You prefer Georgetown ISD’s smaller district feel and the East View or Georgetown High path
- A 485-student campus where teachers know every kid sounds better than an 821-student campus
You might lean toward Teravista if:
- The 91 TEA score and 92 in Closing the Gaps are non-negotiable for you
- Master-planned amenities (golf, pools, trails, organized community events) are part of the package you want
- You want the Round Rock ISD high school feeder with both Round Rock and Stony Point as options
Honest read: if budget allows, the Teravista numbers are hard to argue with. Higher scores across every domain, broader high school options, and a community designed to be lived in. But the Village zone is the better value play and it has something Teravista cannot manufacture, which is the feel of a real Texas neighborhood that has been there for decades. Some buyers want that more than any TEA score, and they are not wrong.

Choosing between Georgetown ISD and Round Rock ISD in this corridor is one of the more common decisions I help buyers think through. The TEA numbers tell part of the story, but the neighborhood feel, the long-term high school path, and the actual price you pay matter just as much. Lets talk about what fits.
