It was rated C (78) in 2022-23. All three domains are rated C: Student Achievement (72), School Progress (74) and Closing the Gaps (72).
For context, under TEA’s scale, an A rating reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized performance, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable.

Cottonwood Creek Elementary Attendance Zone Map
Hutto ISD has eight elementary schools, three middle schools and one high school, so attendance zones matter here. The district redrew elementary zones for the 2025-26 school year when Lee Martinez Elementary opened, and it redrew middle school zones for 2024-25 when Gus Almquist Middle School opened. It is now drawing high school zones for Creekside High School, scheduled to open in fall 2027.
Cottonwood Creek’s biggest community today is Firefly Pointe (a small part of which is zoned to Veterans’ Hill Elementary), along with Hutto Square, Emory Farms, Cottonwood Farms, Durango Farms and HuttoParke. Emory Crossing was part of this zone before 2025-26 and now attends Lee Martinez Elementary.
To confirm the school for a specific address, use Hutto ISD’s SchoolSearch address lookup, or view the district’s elementary and middle school zone maps on its School Zones & Boundaries page. Hutto ISD’s boundary is not the same as the City of Hutto’s: some Hutto addresses are in other districts, and parts of Round Rock, including Siena and Salerno, are in Hutto ISD.
