These three ratings measure different things, which is worth knowing before comparing schools. GreatSchools weighs test performance against schools serving similar student populations. Niche blends test scores, teacher data, and other factors into a single letter grade. 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
Great Oaks Elementary earned an overall A (93) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings, released in August 2026. That continues a steady run at the top of the scale: the campus was also rated A in 2025 (93), 2024 (93), and 2023 (92).
- Overall TEA Rating (2026): A (93)
- Student Achievement: A (93), based on STAAR performance
- School Progress: A (91), student growth compared to schools serving similar populations
- Closing the Gaps: A (93)
- Attendance Rate: 96% (2024, per the Texas Tribune’s TEA data)
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 received a B for 2026, so Great Oaks is performing above the district overall.
