Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, McNeil High School earned an overall A with a score of 94. That continues a steady climb: the campus earned a B (84) in 2022-23, a B (88) in 2023-24, and an A (92) in 2024-25. For a high school, the Student Achievement domain includes graduation rates and college, career, and military readiness as well as STAAR end-of-course results, and that is where McNeil is strongest.

- Student Achievement: A (95), with STAAR Performance at 91, College, Career and Military Readiness at 98, and Graduation Rate at 95 (scaled scores)

McNeil High School Attendance Zone Map
The map above shows where the McNeil High School campus sits. To confirm whether a specific home address is zoned to McNeil, use Round Rock ISD’s official interactive boundary map: Round Rock ISD School Boundaries and Maps.
McNeil’s attendance zone is large. It draws from three middle schools and eleven elementary schools, stretching from Wells Branch and Milwood in the east, through Anderson Mill and Forest North, up to Avery Ranch and the Brushy Creek area. Five of those elementary schools (Anderson Mill, Brushy Creek, Jollyville, Purple Sage, and Sommer) are split, with part of each zone going on to Westwood or Round Rock High School instead. That means two homes a short drive apart can be assigned to different high schools, so the neighborhood name alone is not enough. Before writing an offer on a specific address, confirm its assigned schools directly with Round Rock ISD or through the district’s official boundary map linked above.

3-Year Closed Sales Trend
| Period | Homes Sold | Median Sale Price | Median $/Sq Ft | Sale-to-List Ratio | Median Days on Market |
| Sept 2022 – Aug 2023 | 458 | $520,000 | $254.04 | 99% | 22 days |
| Sept 2023 – Aug 2024 | 422 | $482,000 | $246.62 | 98% | 21 days |
| Sept 2024 – Aug 2025 | 407 | $470,000 | $242.55 | 98% | 23 days |

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The median sale price in the McNeil zone fell from $520,000 in 2022-23 to $482,000 in 2023-24 and $470,000 in 2024-25, then held flat at $470,000 over the trailing twelve months. That is about 9.6% below the 2022-23 level. Price per square foot has kept sliding, from $254.04 to $229.21, a drop of about 9.8% over three years and 5.5% in the past year alone, while the median home size held roughly steady (2,127 square feet in 2022-23 versus 2,103 now). So the decline reflects a real softening in values, not just a shift toward smaller homes, and today buyers are getting a bit more house for the same median price than they did a year ago. Sales volume dipped from 458 to 407 before rebounding to 439, up about 8% over 2024-25, and homes have consistently sold in a median of 21 to 23 days at 98% to 99% of list price.

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
184 homes are currently active, under contract, or pending in the McNeil High School zone. The 149 active listings have been on the market a median of 67 days, about three times the 22-day median for homes that sold over the past year. Their median list price of $464,000 is close to the past year’s $470,000 median sale price, and the typical active home is the same size (2,103 square feet) as the typical home that sold. With that much inventory sitting, buyers have real room to negotiate on homes that have been listed a while, while well-priced new listings in this zone still tend to go under contract within a few weeks.
