North is named for Carol Ann North, who taught kindergarten and Pre-K in Leander ISD for 22 years and was known for championing early literacy. In 2024-25, about 9.5% of students were identified as gifted and talented, about 15.8% received special education services, about 18.3% were economically disadvantaged, and about 16.4% were emergent bilingual. North is a closed campus and is not accepting transfers, so students must live in the attendance zone to enroll. Keep in mind that the GreatSchools rating above and the TEA accountability rating below measure different things, so the two can tell somewhat different stories.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
North Elementary received a C (73) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, down from a C (79) in 2024-25. Student Achievement, which is based on STAAR results, was a C (74), compared with a C (77) the year before. School Progress, which measures how much students grew from one year to the next, fell from a B (80) to a D (63), the biggest change of the three domains. Closing the Gaps, which tracks how each student group performs against state targets, slipped from a C (78) to a C (72). TEA also identified North for Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) in 2026, a federal school-improvement designation based on the performance of individual student groups; campuses with this designation put a targeted improvement plan in place. North earned a B (83) in 2022-23, its first year, and has received C ratings in each year since. For comparison, Leander ISD as a whole earned a B (87) in 2025-26.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): C (73)
- Student Achievement: C (74)
- School Progress: D (63)
- Closing the Gaps: C (72)
- Federal Designation: Targeted Support and Improvement (2026)
- Prior Overall Ratings: C (79) in 2024-25, C (78) in 2023-24, and B (83) in 2022-23, the school’s first year (no earlier ratings because the campus opened in fall 2022)
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. The 2024-25 enrollment included Pre-K students who moved to the Ada Mae Faubion School for Early Childhood in 2026-27, so the student body today is somewhat different.

North Elementary Attendance Zone Map
North’s attendance zone covers about 3.3 square miles of north Leander. Nearly all of its homes are in two master-planned communities. Bryson, the larger of the two, fills the southern part of the zone around the school, along Pleasant Hill Road and streets such as South Chitalpa Street and Mallow Road. Summerlyn, including its Summerlyn West and Summerlyn South sections, sits in the northern part of the zone along US 183. A small part of High Gabriel, the High Gabriel East section, is also zoned to North. Nearby zones include Plain to the south, Tarvin to the southeast and Larkspur to the northeast. To confirm the school for a specific address, use Leander ISD’s School Zone Finder.
North opened in fall 2022, so MLS listings for homes sold before then may name a different elementary school. High Gabriel is split, with the High Gabriel East section zoned to North and High Gabriel West zoned to Plain. Because MLS listings don’t always reflect current boundaries, check the zone for a specific address rather than relying on a listing’s school field.
Homes Zoned to North Elementary: Market Stats
The figures below cover single-family homes sold through Unlock MLS that sit inside North Elementary’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 North boundary, regardless of which school the listing named. Most of these sales are in Bryson and Summerlyn, including Summerlyn West and Summerlyn South, with a handful in High Gabriel East.

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 North zone was $367,500 over the trailing twelve months, 12.5% below 2024-25’s $420,000 and 20.8% below the $463,990 median of 2022-23. Price per square foot fell faster: $173.19 over the past year, down 17.0% from 2024-25 and 19.9% from 2022-23, and well below the 2023-24 high of $224.80. Part of the drop reflects the end of new-home sales in the zone, since 62 of the 2022-23 sales were newly built homes and none of this year’s were. North’s median sale price is now well below the Leander ISD median of $535,000.
Sales volume has fallen as the builder phase wound down. 106 homes sold over the past twelve months, down 12.4% from 121 in 2024-25 and down 53.3% from 227 in 2022-23. Homes took a median of 48 days to sell, a little faster than the Leander ISD median of 54 days, and sellers received a median of 98.6% of their final list price, the highest sale-to-list ratio of the four periods.

| Status | Count | Median List Price | Median Days on Market |
| Active | 36 | $405,000 | 73 days |
| Active Under Contract | 5 | $449,000 | 93 days |

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Same zone check as above. Days on market is cumulative days on market.
44 homes are currently active, under contract, or pending in the North zone. With 36 active listings against about 8.8 sales a month over the past year, the zone has roughly 4.1 months of inventory, which is a fairly balanced market.
The median active list price of $405,000 is above the trailing-twelve-month median sale price of $367,500. Active listings range from $249,900 to $1,150,000, half of them (18 of 36) are priced under $400,000, and 2 are priced at $1 million or more. Active listings have been on the market a median of 73 days. Only five homes are under contract and three are pending, so the medians for those two groups don’t say much about the typical home in the zone.
