Bar W was built with funds from Liberty Hill ISD’s May 2021 bond in about seven and a half months and opened with 655 students on its first day. It was designed for up to 800 students and relieved crowding at Louine Noble, Rancho Sienna and Santa Rita elementaries. The two-story classroom building wraps around a courtyard built around a large oak tree, and the campus has a gym, a library and two playgrounds with basketball courts. In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability data, about 10.6% of Bar W students were economically disadvantaged. Its attendance boundary did not change in the February 2026 rezoning. GreatSchools and TEA measure different things. GreatSchools weighs test results against schools with similar student populations, while TEA’s rating, below, is the state’s official accountability measure.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Bar W Elementary earned an overall A with a score of 91. That is down 2 points from its A (93) in 2024-25, and Bar W was one of only three Liberty Hill ISD campuses rated A this year, along with Rancho Sienna Elementary and Legacy Ranch High School.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): A (91)
- Student Achievement: A, 91 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: B, 87 out of 100 (Academic Growth B/87, Relative Performance D/66)
- Closing the Gaps: A, 91 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (83) in 2023-24, the school’s first year, and A (93) in 2024-25
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. Bar W’s strongest areas are Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, and Closing the Gaps, which looks at how each student group performs. The lowest piece is Relative Performance, which compares achievement with campuses that have a similar share of economically disadvantaged students, so Bar W is measured against other low-poverty campuses there. The campus did not earn any distinction designations in 2025-26 and is not identified for state improvement support.

Homes Zoned to Bar W Elementary: Market Stats
The figures below cover single-family homes in Liberty Hill ISD sold through Unlock MLS whose addresses fall inside Bar W Elementary’s official 2026-27 attendance zone. Rather than relying on the school name typed into each listing, we geocoded every LHISD sale and tested it against the district’s own boundary map. That matters here because LHISD redrew its elementary boundaries for 2026-27, so older listings often carry the old school names. The zone’s largest neighborhoods are Oaks at San Gabriel, Omega Ranch and Bar W Ranch.
