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
Cedar Valley Middle School earned an overall A (score of 95) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings, up from an A (94) in 2025. The campus has earned an A in every rating year since 2022 (TEA did not issue ratings in 2021), and in 2026 it earned all seven distinction designations available to a middle school, up from three in 2025.
- Overall TEA Rating (2026): A (95)
- Student Achievement: A (96), based on STAAR performance
- School Progress: A (93), with Academic Growth at A (93) and Relative Performance at A (91)
- Closing the Gaps: A (94)
- Distinction Designations (2026): ELA/Reading, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Comparative Academic Growth, Postsecondary Readiness, and Comparative Closing the Gaps
- 2025 Rating, for comparison: A (94), with Student Achievement A (95), School Progress A (92), and Closing the Gaps A (93)
- Earlier Ratings: A (94) in 2024, A (94) in 2023, and A (96) in 2022
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 10% of Cedar Valley’s students are economically disadvantaged and about 10% are emergent bilingual students, which is worth keeping in mind when comparing its scores with nearby campuses.

Cedar Valley’s own website doesn’t publish details on its advanced, honors, or high school credit course offerings, so ask the school directly about course placement for your student. The building is getting significant attention under Round Rock ISD’s 2024 bond: the district assessed Cedar Valley’s Facility Condition Index at 15.2%, compared to an 8.4% average for its middle schools, and the planned work includes roofing, HVAC, plumbing, ceilings, walls and floors, cafeteria upgrades, a new gym floor, and converting the athletic field to turf. The roof replacement was scheduled to wrap up in summer 2026, before students returned. Contact Cedar Valley Middle School at (512) 428-2300 for current program availability.

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The median sale price in the Cedar Valley zone is $571,000 over the trailing twelve months, about 2% below the $585,000 median of 2022-23, so prices have been essentially flat for four years. Price per square foot has softened more, down about 8% from $248.05 to $229.12 (and about 6% in the past year alone), partly because the typical home selling here has gotten a bit larger. Activity is picking up: 201 homes sold in the past year, up 17% from 172 the year before and the most of any period in the table. Homes are also selling faster than they were in 2022-23, with median days on market down from 22 to 15, and sellers are still getting about 98% of list price.
Current Inventory Snapshot
As of September 29, 2026
| Status | Count | Median List Price | Median Days on Market |
| Active | 58 | $565,000 | 61 days |
| Active Under Contract | 10 | $737,000 | 65 days |
| Pending | 9 | $815,000 | 78 days |
Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
77 single-family homes are currently active, under contract, or pending in the Cedar Valley zone. At the past year’s pace of about 17 sales a month, the 58 active listings represent roughly three and a half months of supply. The median active listing has been on the market 61 days, about four times the 15-day median for homes that actually sold, which suggests the homes still sitting are the ones priced above what buyers are paying. That gives buyers room to negotiate on older listings, while well-priced homes still go under contract within a couple of weeks.
