Pearson Ranch Middle School Attendance Zone Map
The map above shows where the Pearson Ranch Middle School campus sits. To confirm whether a specific home address is zoned to Pearson Ranch, use Round Rock ISD’s official interactive boundary map: Round Rock ISD School Boundaries and Maps.
Pearson Ranch draws from five elementary schools, and three of them (Anderson Mill, Purple Sage, and Sommer) are split between Pearson Ranch and another middle school. That means two homes a short drive apart can be assigned to different middle 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.

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The median sale price in the Pearson Ranch zone dipped from $682,500 in 2022-23 to $635,000 in 2023-24, then climbed to $694,250 over the trailing twelve months. That is about 9% above the 2023-24 low and roughly 2% above the 2022-23 level. Median price per square foot actually slipped about 2.6% over the same stretch, from $256.52 to $249.85, so part of the higher median reflects larger homes selling (the median home sold grew from 2,710 to 2,875 square feet) rather than rising values. Sales volume fell from 108 to 77 before rebounding to 94, a 22% increase over 2024-25, and homes have consistently sold in a median of 20 to 26 days at 97% to 98% of list price.

43 homes are currently active, under contract, or pending in the Pearson Ranch Middle School zone. The 32 active listings have been on the market a median of 67 days, nearly three times the 25-day median for homes that sold over the past year. Their median list price of $584,500 is also below the past year’s $694,250 median sale price, which mostly reflects a mix of smaller homes on the market right now (a median of 2,498 square feet, versus 2,875 for homes that sold). A listing that has been sitting a while can give a buyer room to negotiate, while well-priced new listings in this zone still tend to go under contract within a few weeks.
