Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
Running Brushy Middle received an A (91) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, up from a B (89) in 2024-25. It is the school’s first A in the ratings history going back to 2019. Student Achievement, which is based on STAAR results, rose from a B (86) to an A (90). School Progress, which measures how much students grew from one year to the next, dipped from a B (88) to a B (86). Closing the Gaps, which tracks how each student group performs against state targets, edged up from an A (91) to an A (92). Before this year, Running Brushy earned a B in every rated year, with scores between 82 and 89. 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 (91)
- Student Achievement: A (90)
- School Progress: B (86)
- Closing the Gaps: A (92)
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (89) in 2024-25, B (82) in 2023-24, B (87) in 2022-23, B (85) in 2021-22, and B (84) 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.

Running Brushy Middle Attendance Zone Map
Running Brushy’s attendance zone covers northern Cedar Park and the southern edge of Leander. Travisso is by far the busiest subdivision in the zone by sales. The zone also includes Carriage Hills, the Crossing at Carriage Hills and the Trails at Carriage Hills, Lakeline Ranch, Gann Ranch, Heritage Park, Whitestone Oaks and Cedar Grove, along with several sections of Crystal Falls, including the Bluffs, the Highlands, Grand Mesa and the Fairways. Acreage homes in the Cedar Park Ranchettes are zoned here as well. The zone draws from five elementary schools: all of Knowles, most of Mason and Giddens, plus Winkley and part of Whitestone. Cedar Park Middle shares the Mason area, Wiley Middle shares the Giddens area, and Leander Middle shares the Whitestone area. To confirm the school for a specific address, use Leander ISD’s School Zone Finder.
The high school assignment for part of this zone changed recently. Before Leander ISD’s June 2023 secondary rezoning, the entire Running Brushy zone was zoned to Leander High. The rezoning, which took effect in 2024-25, moved 13 neighborhoods from Leander High to Cedar Park High, and today about 36% of the Running Brushy zone, including most of the Mason Elementary area, is zoned to Cedar Park High. Older MLS listings may still name Leander High for those homes, so check the current zone for an address rather than relying on a listing’s school field.

The figures below cover single-family homes sold through Unlock MLS that sit inside Running Brushy Middle School’s current 2026-27 attendance zone.

Travisso accounts for the largest share of these sales, followed by the Bluffs at Crystal Falls, Carriage Hills, the Crossing at Carriage Hills, Grand Mesa at Crystal Falls and Lakeline Ranch.
