GreatSchools and the Texas Education Agency measure different things, which is worth knowing before comparing schools. GreatSchools weighs test performance against schools serving similar student populations. The Texas Education Agency’s rating, below, is the state’s own official measurement and the one used for school accountability purposes.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
Canyon Vista Middle School earned an overall A (score of 96) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings, released in August 2026. That makes three straight A ratings: the campus also scored an A (95) in both 2025 and 2024, and it earned an A in every domain in 2026.
- Overall TEA Rating (2026): A (96)
- Student Achievement: A (96), based on STAAR performance
- School Progress: A (95), with Academic Growth at A (95) and Relative Performance at A (91)
- Closing the Gaps: A (95)
- 2025 Rating, for comparison: A (95), with Student Achievement 95, School Progress 94, and Closing the Gaps 94
For context, under TEA’s scale, an A rating reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized performance, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. Round Rock ISD as a whole earned a B (89) in 2026. About 8.5% of Canyon Vista’s students are economically disadvantaged, well below the district average, which is worth keeping in mind when comparing its scores with other campuses.

The median sale price in the Canyon Vista zone is $773,750 over the trailing twelve months. That is about 8% below the $837,500 median of 2022-23, but up about 3% from the 2024-25 low of $752,500, so prices appear to have found a floor. Median price per square foot is down only about 3% over the full stretch. Demand is picking up: 238 homes sold in the past year, the most in any of the four periods and about 16% more than in 2024-25. Median days on market fell from 25 to 16, and sellers are getting about 98% of list price.
Current Inventory Snapshot

| Status | Count | Median List Price | Median Days on Market |
| Active | 47 | $995,000 | 63 days |
| Active Under Contract | 12 | $859,000 | 12 days |
| Pending | 2 | $740,000 | 53 days |
Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
61 single-family homes are currently active, under contract, or pending in the Canyon Vista zone. At the past year’s pace of about 20 sales a month, the 47 active listings represent under two and a half months of supply, which is still a tight market. The median active listing is priced at $995,000 and is noticeably larger (about 2,900 square feet) than the typical home that sold, so today’s active inventory skews toward the upper end of the zone. The median active listing has also been on the market 63 days versus 16 for homes that sold. Buyers usually have the most negotiating room on those older listings, while fresh, well-priced homes still go under contract quickly.
