GreatSchools weighs test results against schools with similar student populations, while TEA’s rating, below, is the state’s official accountability measure.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, McBee Elementary earned an overall B with a score of 80. That is up 11 points from a D (69) in 2024-25. McBee was an A (90) in 2021-22, then a D for three straight rated years, scoring 65 in 2022-23, 66 in 2023-24 and 69 in 2024-25.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): B (80)
- Student Achievement: D, 64 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: B, 80 out of 100 (Academic Growth B/80, Relative Performance C/72)
- Closing the Gaps: B, 81 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: A (90) in 2021-22, D (65) in 2022-23, D (66) in 2023-24, D (69) in 2024-25
- Austin ISD (2025-26): B (81) district-wide
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. McBee’s jump to a B came from growth and student-group results rather than raw test scores. School Progress rose from a C (73) to a B (80), driven by Academic Growth at 80, and Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, climbed from an F (53) to a C (72). Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, improved from a D (67) to a B (81). Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, is still McBee’s weakest area at a D (64), though it was up from an F (51). McBee earned a Comparative Academic Growth distinction in 2021-22 and none since. TEA identified the campus for additional targeted support in 2024-25, and it is not identified for improvement support in 2025-26.

Programs at McBee Elementary
These are the programs Austin ISD and the McBee campus list for this school. McBee’s PTA page lists officers as TBA, and the campus site publishes little about 2026-27 activities, so ask the school directly if a specific club or program matters to you.
- Pre-K: The campus lists free half-day Pre-K 3 and free or tuition-based full-day Pre-K 4. TEA counted 38 Pre-K 4 students and no Pre-K 3 students in 2025-26, so ask whether Pre-K 3 is offered this year.

- Clubs and after-school: Garden Club, Student Council, Boys & Girls Club, Girl Scouts and Girlstart, plus after-school meals and tuition-based after-school care listed by Austin ISD.

Only 57 single-family homes sold in the zone since September 2022, mostly in the Village at Quail Creek, the Quail Creek Phase 3 and 4 sections and North Meadows, so every period is a small sample.

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Single-family homes only. Each Austin ISD listing was geocoded and matched to Austin ISD’s SY 2026-27 McBee Elementary attendance boundary, so the figures reflect today’s zone rather than the school typed into each listing.
The median sale price in the McBee zone went from $410,000 in 2022-23 to $447,000 over the trailing twelve months, up about 9.0%, on 19 and 16 sales. Median price per square foot moved the other way, from $281.00 to $255.43 (-9.1%), because the homes that sold recently were somewhat larger, at a median of 1,516.5 square feet compared with 1,446.
Only 3 homes sold in 2024-25. That sample is small, and medians in a zone this size can swing widely from year to year. Over the past twelve months, homes sold in a median of 19.5 days at 99.6% of their final list price, compared with 23 days and 98.0% in 2022-23.
