Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
Wiley Middle received an A (90) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, close to its A (91) in 2024-25. Student Achievement, which is based on STAAR results, rose from a B (89) to an A (90). School Progress, which measures how much students grew from one year to the next, slipped from an A (91) to a B (87). Closing the Gaps, which tracks how each student group performs against state targets, edged down from an A (92) to an A (90). The last two years mark a clear improvement for Wiley, which earned a C (75) in 2021-22 and B ratings in 2022-23 and 2023-24. It was not identified for any federal support and improvement designation. For comparison, Leander ISD as a whole earned a B (87) in 2025-26.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): A (90)
- Student Achievement: A (90)
- School Progress: B (87)
- Closing the Gaps: A (90)
- Prior Overall Ratings: A (91) in 2024-25, B (80) in 2023-24, B (84) in 2022-23, C (75) in 2021-22, and B (86) in 2018-19 (no ratings were issued for 2019-20 or 2020-21)
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. The 2022-23 and 2023-24 ratings were delayed by litigation over TEA’s methodology and were not released until 2025.

Wiley Middle Attendance Zone Map
Wiley’s attendance zone covers a large and varied part of Leander and north Cedar Park. Bryson, Block House Creek and Palmera Ridge account for the most sales. The Pleasant Hill Elementary area, the largest part of the zone, includes Horizon Lake, Horizon Park, Oak Ridge, Crystal Springs, Marbella, Ridgewood and Crystal Crossing. The zone also takes in Cedar Park Town Center, Cold Springs, Hazlewood and Stewart Crossing. Danielson Middle shares the North Elementary area, Stiles Middle shares the Akin and Tarvin areas, and Running Brushy Middle shares the Giddens area. To confirm the school for a specific address, use Leander ISD’s School Zone Finder.
The Wiley zone’s high school assignments were not changed by Leander ISD’s June 2023 secondary rezoning, so the split between Rouse High and Glenn High is the same as it was before 2024-25. Because several of Wiley’s feeder elementary zones are shared with other middle schools, check the current zone for an address rather than relying on a listing’s school field.
Homes Zoned to Wiley Middle: Market Stats
The figures below cover single-family homes sold through Unlock MLS that sit inside Wiley Middle School’s current 2026-27 attendance zone. We pulled every Leander ISD sale, matched each address to Leander ISD address points (or a geocoder for the few that did not match) and checked it against Leander ISD’s official Wiley boundary, regardless of which school the listing named. Bryson accounts for the largest share of these sales, followed by Palmera Ridge, Block House Creek, Horizon Lake and Cedar Park Town Center, with smaller numbers in Horizon Park, Oak Ridge, Crystal Springs, Marbella and Cold Springs.
3-Year Closed Sales Trend
| Period | Homes Sold | Median Sale Price | Median $/Sq Ft | Sale-to-List Ratio | Median Days on Market |
| Sept 2022 – Aug 2023 | 483 | $500,000 | $231.44 | 98.1% | 31 days |
| Sept 2023 – Aug 2024 | 472 | $531,000 | $227.48 | 97.6% | 30 days |
| Sept 2024 – Aug 2025 | 318 | $429,000 | $217.05 | 97.9% | 46 days |

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Single-family homes only, including condo-regime homes. Each address was matched to Leander ISD address points and checked against Leander ISD’s official 2026-27 attendance-zone boundary. Sale-to-list ratio is the median of each sale’s close price divided by its final list price. Days on market is cumulative days on market.
The median sale price in the Wiley zone was $433,500 over the trailing twelve months, up 1.0% from 2024-25’s $429,000 but 13.3% below the $500,000 median of 2022-23. Much of that drop came in 2024-25, when the median fell from $531,000 to $429,000 as new construction sales dried up and the typical home sold got smaller, about 2,075 square feet compared with about 2,494 the year before. Price per square foot gives a cleaner read: $202.64 over the past year, down 12.4% from the 2022-23 peak of $231.44 and 6.6% from 2024-25. The zone’s median remains below the Leander ISD median of $535,000.
Sales volume recovered this year. 373 homes sold over the past twelve months, up 17.3% from 318 in 2024-25 but still 22.8% below the 483 sold in 2022-23, when 81 of the sales were newly built homes. Only 11 of this year’s sales were new construction. Homes are taking longer to sell, with a median of 65 days on market, up from 31 days in 2022-23 and longer than the Leander ISD median of 54 days. Sellers received a median of 97.6% of their final list price.
