How Schools Were Ranked
Rankings and letter grades on this list come from Niche.com, which evaluates public schools using a combination of U.S. Department of Education data, U.S. Census data, and surveys from students, parents, and teachers. Niche weighs factors including academic performance, teacher quality, college readiness, student culture and diversity, and available resources.
You can review the full methodology on the Niche website: Niche K-12 Ranking Methodology.
Important: school ratings and zoning boundaries can change from year to year. Always verify a property’s current zoning directly with the school district before making a purchase decision.
About the Real Estate Data
Home sale statistics for each school’s attendance zone are based on data from Unlock MLS (Austin/Central Texas MLS). Average sale price, median sale price, price range, average days on market, and number of homes sold reflect approximately 12 months of closed sales prior to the report date. Average beds, baths, and square footage reflect a 3-year average to account for typical variation in what sells year to year. Data was pulled in May 2026.
The data is intended to give you a general picture of price levels in each attendance zone. Prices vary widely within any given attendance zone depending on the specific neighborhood, street, and property. Contact Eleven Oaks Realty for specific guidance on any area.
