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
Pond Springs Elementary earned an overall B (score of 87) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings, released in August 2026.

Round Rock ISD as a whole earned a B (89) in 2026. About 27.5% of Pond Springs’ students are economically disadvantaged, and TEA has not identified the campus for comprehensive or targeted support in any of the last three years.
