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
Laurel Mountain Elementary earned an overall A (96 out of 100) in TEA’s 2026 accountability ratings, released in August 2026 for the 2025-26 school year, and it earned an A in all three domains. That continues a steady run at the top of the scale: the campus scored 94 (A) in 2024 and 96 (A) in 2025.
- Overall TEA Rating (2026): A (96)
- Student Achievement: A (96), based on STAAR performance. 88% of students met grade level across all tested subjects in 2026
- School Progress: A (94), student growth compared to schools serving similar populations
- Closing the Gaps: A (95)
- Attendance Rate: 95.7% (2024, most recent year published)
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) for 2025-26, so Laurel Mountain is performing well above the district overall.

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Only 16 homes are currently active, under contract, or pending in the Laurel Mountain zone. The 14 active listings skew larger and pricier than what has been selling (a median of about 3,425 square feet at $1,140,000, versus a median closed sale of $822,500), so homes in the more typical price range tend to go under contract quickly. Buyers should be ready to act when the right one comes up.
