Santa Rita Middle School Attendance Zone Map
The map above shows where the Santa Rita Middle School campus sits. To confirm whether a specific home address is zoned to Santa Rita Middle School, use the Liberty Hill ISD 2026-27 School Locator or the district’s campus address lookup.
Under the boundaries the Liberty Hill ISD board adopted on February 16, 2026, Santa Rita Middle School serves Liberty Hill ISD homes east of Ronald Reagan Blvd. That is the full Tierra Rosa Elementary and Rancho Sienna Elementary zones plus roughly half of the Bar W Elementary zone. Neighborhoods include the Tierra Rosa-zoned sections of Santa Rita Ranch (Phases 3, 5, 6, and 7A and the main Santa Rita Ranch plats east of Ronald Reagan), Morningstar, Rancho Sienna, the Lively tract, Oaks at San Gabriel, Omega Ranch, Sage Creek, Ridge at Cross Creek, and the Liberty Hill ISD part of Cimarron Hills.
Santa Rita Ranch is split. Its southern, western, and northwestern sections, including Santa Rita Ranch South and Saddleback, are zoned to Legacy Ranch Middle School, and part of the Santa Rita Ranch master plan lies outside Liberty Hill ISD in Georgetown ISD. The Bar W Elementary zone is split too: Bar W Ranch, west of Ronald Reagan, goes to Legacy Ranch Middle School, while Oaks at San Gabriel and Omega Ranch come here. Only about 54% of Cimarron Hills and about 76% of Sage Creek are inside Liberty Hill ISD. Liberty Hill ISD plans another boundary review in spring 2027, so check the exact address.
Homes Zoned to Santa Rita Middle School: Market Stats
Here is what actually happened in Santa Rita Middle School’s attendance zone over the past three years, pulled directly from Unlock MLS for single-family homes in Liberty Hill ISD whose addresses fall inside Santa Rita Middle School’s official 2026-27 attendance zone. Rather than relying on the school name typed into each MLS listing, we geocoded every Liberty Hill ISD sale and tested its location against the district’s own 2026-27 boundary map. That matters here because Liberty Hill ISD redrew its attendance zones for 2026-27, so older listings carry the school names that applied before the new boundaries. Most of these sales are in the eastern sections of Santa Rita Ranch, Morningstar, Rancho Sienna, Lively Ranch, and Oaks at San Gabriel.
