About Elgin ISD
Elgin ISD was founded in 1897 and covers about 168 square miles in parts of Bastrop, Travis and Lee counties. It serves the city of Elgin, the rural area around it, and the Elgin ISD part of Carillon, a subdivision with Manor (78653) addresses. Of the 2,323 single-family homes that sold in the district over the past four years, 2,064 had an Elgin 78621 address and 252 had a Manor 78653 address. The district office is at 1002 N. Avenue C in Elgin. Dr. Christopher Bailey became superintendent on September 1, 2026, after Dr. Jana Rueter retired.
Enrollment was 6,232 students in 2025-26, up from 5,941 the year before. A district demographic study from February 2025 projects about 14,500 students by 2034. The district colors are purple and white and the mascot is the Wildcats.
Academic results are mixed. Elgin ISD earned a D (66) from the Texas Education Agency for 2025-26, the same score as 2024-25 and up from a D (61) in 2023-24. Elgin High School earned a C (75).

What Homes Look Like in Elgin ISD
Most Elgin ISD homes are production-built houses in master-planned subdivisions. The median home sold over the past four years was built in 2023, and 1,667 of 2,323 sales (71.8%) were built in 2022 or later. The median home has 1,758 square feet on about 0.14 acre. 206 sales had an acre or more. The largest builders by sales were Brohn Homes, D.R. Horton, Lennar, Trophy Signature Homes, Century Communities, LGI Homes and Brightland.
Most homes (83.3%) are in an HOA. Many new subdivisions are in MUDs or PIDs that add to the property tax rate, so check the exact rate on any home you consider.
Prices vary by school zone. Homes zoned to Harvest Ridge Elementary sold for a median of $261,823 in the past year, the lowest in the district, and homes in the Neidig Elementary zone sold for $300,250. Trinity Ranch Elementary homes sold for $299,995. The Elgin Elementary and Booker T. Washington Elementary zones cover the older part of town and rural land, with fewer sales and more acreage. The Booker T. Washington zone’s median of $541,000 reflects homes on a median of about one acre.
Growth & District News in Elgin ISD
Two New Schools Planned for 2027
Legacy Oak Middle School is under construction at 1973 FM 1704 and is scheduled to open in fall 2027. It will serve grades 6-8, with room for about 1,200 students. Elgin Intermediate principal Randy Mathisen has been named its first principal. The district’s schools page also lists Elementary School #6 for August 2027, although its location has not been announced. Elgin ISD had not published attendance zones for either school as of October 4, 2026, so the elementary map and the 6th grade setup may change for 2027-28.
2021 and 2024 Bonds
Voters approved a $171.7 million bond in 2021 that built Harvest Ridge Elementary (opened August 2024) and Trinity Ranch Elementary (opened August 2025) and expanded Elgin High School with a classroom addition, a CTE wing, a cafeteria and an auditorium. In May 2024 voters approved a $375 million bond, which the district said would not raise the tax rate. It pays for Legacy Oak Middle School, Elementary #6, more space at Elgin High (targeted for 2029), new buses and maintenance at the older campuses.
Attendance Zones
Elgin ISD redrew its elementary zones for 2024-25 when Harvest Ridge opened and again for 2025-26 when Trinity Ranch opened. No boundary change was made for 2026-27. Harvest Ridge covers the north side of the district, Neidig the west (including Elm Creek, Briarwood and the Elgin ISD part of Carillon), Booker T. Washington the east, Elgin Elementary the south and central part of town, and Trinity Ranch the Trinity Ranch community south of US 290. Use the Elgin ISD School Zone Finder or call the district at (512) 281-3434 to confirm the schools for a specific address. Many MLS listings still show the school a home was zoned to before these changes, so do not rely on the listing alone.
Grade Levels
In 2025-26 Elgin ISD moved 5th grade back to the elementary schools and added Pre-K at all of them. Elementary schools now serve Pre-K through 5th grade, Elgin Intermediate serves 6th grade, Elgin Middle serves 7th and 8th grade and Elgin High serves 9th through 12th grade.

4-Year Market Perspective
Elgin ISD home prices have eased while sales volume grew. The median sale price fell from $324,900 in FY22-23 to $295,400 in FY25-26, a drop of 9.1%. Median price per square foot fell from $199.01 to $167.62, a drop of 15.8%. Closings rose from 487 to 638 as new subdivisions delivered more homes.
Days on market rose from 24 to 68.5. The median sale-to-list ratio stayed at or near 100% in all four years, largely because builders adjust list prices before closing. For broader context on Austin-area prices, see Eleven Oaks Realty’s latest Austin Real Estate Price Report.

How to Buy in Elgin ISD
- Get pre-approved, and budget for HOA dues and the full property tax rate on each home, including any MUD or PID tax in newer subdivisions.
- Confirm the home is in Elgin ISD and confirm its zoned elementary school with the Elgin ISD School Zone Finder. Some Manor addresses in Carillon are in Elgin ISD, and some Elgin-area addresses are in other districts.
- Compare new construction with resale homes in the same area. Builder incentives can change the real price a lot, so compare net prices, not list prices.
- Make an offer based on recent comparable sales. With about 5.7 months of inventory, you can often negotiate on price, repairs or closing costs.
- Complete inspections, the option period and closing with a local agent who knows the Elgin ISD market.
