Del Valle Middle was established in 1987. Its original building served students for more than 30 years before it was demolished and replaced with a one-story, roughly 175,000-square-foot campus designed for about 1,000 students, which opened in August 2023. A new athletic complex with an artificial turf field and track was completed on August 1, 2024. In 2025-26, Del Valle Middle enrolled 911 students, with 81.9% economically disadvantaged, 43.5% emergent bilingual and 21.3% receiving special education services, according to TEA data. For 2026-27 the principal is Juan Hernandez, who was previously an assistant principal at the school. GreatSchools and TEA measure different things. 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, Del Valle Middle earned an overall D with a score of 60. That is down 2 points from a D (62) in 2024-25. The campus was a B (83) in 2021-22, then fell to an F in both 2022-23 (59) and 2023-24 (58) before moving up to a D.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): D (60)
- Student Achievement: F, 58 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: D, 60 out of 100 (Academic Growth F/59, Relative Performance D/60)
- Closing the Gaps: D, 60 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (83) in 2021-22, F (59) in 2022-23, F (58) in 2023-24, D (62) in 2024-25
- Del Valle ISD (2025-26): D (66) district-wide
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. Del Valle Middle’s overall score is set mainly by School Progress, a D (60), with Academic Growth an F (59) and Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, a D (60). Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, was an F (58), about where it has been since 2022-23 (between 55 and 58). The change from last year came from Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, slipping from 65 to 60. Del Valle Middle earned a Comparative Closing the Gaps distinction in 2021-22 and none since. TEA identified the campus for additional targeted support in both 2024-25 and 2025-26, after identifying it for targeted support and improvement in 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Del Valle Middle Attendance Zone Map
Del Valle Middle’s zone covers the central and southeastern part of Del Valle ISD around the community of Del Valle. About 68% of the zone’s home sales since September 2022 were in the 78617 zip code and about 20% in 78610, with smaller numbers in 78725, 78744 and 78741. For 2026-27 the zone takes in the Del Valle and Popham elementary zones, the eastern part of the Creedmoor zone and the Elroy-area part of the Newton Collins zone.
Del Valle ISD has proposed two options, A and B, for 2027-28 middle school zones, and as of October 2, 2026 no board adoption had been found. Both options would add the area along SH 71 east of FM 973 toward the Colorado River (the Garfield area, including Tucker Hill Lane, Kellam Road, Fallwell Lane, Caldwell Lane, River Road and Citation Drive) to Del Valle Middle from Dailey Middle School, and the rest of the zone would stay the same. Option B would also move the Elroy-area part of Newton Collins Elementary (Elroy Road, FM 812, Jacobson Road and Linden Road) to Popham Elementary, but that area already attends Del Valle Middle. Under the grandfathering policy adopted in February 2026, rising 8th graders may finish their final year at their current middle school, though transportation generally is not provided outside the assigned zone. Confirm any address with the Del Valle ISD school finder before buying.

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Single-family homes in Del Valle ISD whose listings are assigned to Del Valle Middle School.
The median sale price for homes assigned to Del Valle Middle has eased from $339,110 in 2022-23 to $310,690 over the trailing twelve months, a change of about -8.4%. Median price per square foot fell further, from $199.63 to $169.29 (-15.2%), because the median home sold grew from about 1,682 to 1,813 square feet.
Sales volume more than doubled, from 140 homes in 2022-23 to 311 in the past twelve months, and most of that growth is new construction. Of the 978 homes sold since September 2022, 549 (about 56%) were built in 2022 or later, and the median year built rose from 2009 to 2025. Falling price per square foot alongside rising volume is the usual pattern when builders are adding supply.
Homes are taking longer to sell. Median days on market rose from 32.5 days in 2022-23 to 52.5 over the past year, while sellers received a median of 98.9% of their final list price, up from 98.5%.
