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
Deerpark Middle School earned an overall C (78) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings, up from a C (72) in 2025.

About 43% of its students are economically disadvantaged and about 20% receive special education services (TEA, 2024-25); the campus also hosts the regional day school program for deaf students. TEA identified the campus for additional targeted support in 2025 and targeted support and improvement in 2026, and Round Rock ISD trustees approved a campus improvement plan in March 2026. Its rating history is 2022 B (84), 2023 C (75), 2024 C (73), 2025 C (72), and 2026 C (78).
