Decker Middle sits on Decker Lane between US 290 to the north and FM 969 to the south, and its zone takes in much of the Manor ISD side of northeast Austin, including the Harris Branch and Samsung Blvd areas. The campus has had frequent leadership changes in recent years: Manor ISD announced Blake Rhyne, then Brian Reed, as principal before naming Darrell Baty for 2026-27. Baty previously served as Assistant Principal of Instruction at Manor New Tech High and as the district’s Executive Director of Research, Data & Accountability. In 2025-26, Decker Middle enrolled 609 students, and 86.9% were economically disadvantaged, according to TEA. State data compiled by the Texas Tribune show 53.5% of students were English learners, 12.3% received special education services, 7.7% were identified as gifted and talented, and 64.9% were Hispanic. The Texas Tribune counted 12.6 students per teacher in 2025. 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, published in September 2026, Decker Middle earned an overall F with a score of 52, down from an F (58) in 2024-25. It was rated F (48) in 2023-24 and D (64) in 2022-23, and its 2021-22 score of 67 was labeled Not Rated under state law that year. Manor ISD as a whole earned a D (66) in 2025-26, up from a D (60).
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): F (52)
- Student Achievement: F, 52 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: F, 55 out of 100 (Academic Growth F/54, Relative Performance F/55)
- Closing the Gaps: F, 44 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: Not Rated (67) in 2021-22, D (64) in 2022-23, F (48) in 2023-24, F (58) in 2024-25
- Manor ISD (2025-26): D (66) district-wide, up from D (60) 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. In 2025-26, Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, was an F (52), compared with 54 in 2024-25. School Progress was an F (55), with Academic Growth at 54 and Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, at 55. Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, fell from a D (64) to an F (44), the largest change from the year before.
Decker Middle has not earned a TEA distinction designation from 2022 through 2026. It was identified for targeted support and improvement (TSI) in 2022 and 2023, moved to additional targeted support (ATS) in 2024, and was reidentified for ATS in 2025 and 2026. ATS is a federal label based on the results of specific student groups, and reidentified means the campus met the criteria again. The campus website links its Campus Turnaround Plan, and families weighing the school can read it alongside the full TEA report.

TEA issues updated ratings annually, so verify the current rating directly with Manor ISD or TEA before making a decision based on it.

Confirm any address with the district office at (512) 278-4000 before buying. Lagos Elementary, on the Manor Middle side of the district, is projected to run over capacity, so future boundary changes in Manor ISD are possible.
Homes Zoned to Decker Middle: Market Stats
The figures below cover single-family homes sold through Unlock MLS whose listings name Decker as the middle school within Manor ISD. Because Manor ISD publishes its zones only as PDF maps, we used the school field that agents enter on each listing, so a few sales may be mis-tagged.

Most homes are recent builds: the median home sold was built in 2018, 32.5% were built in 2022 or later, and D.R. Horton and KB Home built 250 and 146 of the homes sold. About 96.9% of sales had an HOA, and the median property tax rate was 2.33%.
