About Round Rock Independent School District
Round Rock ISD is the fourth-largest district in the Austin metro with 52,000 students and 55 campuses. The district sits at the center of Austin's tech corridor - Dell Technologies' global headquarters is in Round Rock, Samsung's chip fabrication plant is in Taylor, and Apple's campus is minutes away. This concentration of tech employment created a school district with unusually high academic expectations. Westwood High School, with 44% Asian enrollment reflecting the tech industry's workforce, earned Platinum recognition on the 2025 AP School Honor Roll. Canyon Vista Middle School ranks in the top 2% of all Texas middle schools. Five RRISD high schools made the 2025 AP Honor Roll - the most of any district in the region.
Why Families Choose Round Rock ISD
Families moving to Austin for tech jobs frequently land in Round Rock ISD because it's where the offices are. But they stay for the schools. The Westwood feeder chain (Spicewood Elementary → Canyon Vista Middle → Westwood High) is arguably the strongest academic pipeline in the Austin metro outside of Eanes. Westwood's IB Diploma program, Science Olympiad national ranking, and average ACT of 29.6 compete with any private school in the region. Great Hills offers the closest-to-Austin option in RRISD with homes from $400K-$1M, while Avery Ranch provides newer construction from $400K-$700K with strong community amenities and a shorter commute to Dell and Samsung.
Real Estate in Round Rock ISD
Our Round Rock ISD coverage focuses on two neighborhoods: Great Hills (Spicewood → Canyon Vista → Westwood chain) and Avery Ranch (Fern Bluff → Walsh/Pearson Ranch → Round Rock High/McNeil). Great Hills is the academic play - homes here benefit from the Canyon Vista → Westwood feeder, one of the highest-performing middle-to-high transitions in Texas. Avery Ranch is the lifestyle play - newer construction, community pools, trails, and easy access to the tech corridor along 183 and I-35. For current pricing, pair the school assignment with live MLS median price, price bands, active inventory, and recent sales-through on the relevant neighborhood or ZIP guide before making an offer.
What Families Say About Round Rock ISD
“I wanted to share the excellent work and the highest professional standard that both Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan delivered. I worked mainly with Joe Keenan on house viewings, tours, meetings, etc., while Cara Keenan assisted with getting offer letters in on time. Joe Keenan guided me seamlessly throughout the process for my first house purchase, and there was never a time when I reached out that he either wasn't available or didn't get back to me shortly thereafter. Many times I actually wondered if he ever stops working.”
- Alan Love Luu (Buyer), Avery Ranch
“Great Hills was Cara's suggestion when we told her we needed to be close to the Domain and the tech corridor but still wanted a real neighborhood feel. She was right — the lots are big, the trees are mature, and the commute to Apple and Google offices is under 15 minutes. Cara also pointed out that Great Hills feeds into Westwood High School, which was important to us. We closed on a five-bedroom with a pool for just over a million.”
- P. Sharma (Buyer), Great Hills
