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
Purple Sage Elementary earned an overall B (score of 88) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings. That follows an A (91) in 2025. Student Achievement and School Progress were both rated A in 2026; the dip to a B overall came from the Closing the Gaps domain, which fell from 91 to 82.
- Overall TEA Rating (2026): B (88)
- Student Achievement: A (91), based on STAAR performance
- School Progress: A (91), with Academic Growth at A (91) and Relative Performance at B (80)
- Closing the Gaps: B (82)
- 2025 Rating, for comparison: A (91), with Student Achievement A (91), School Progress B (88), and Closing the Gaps A (91)
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) in 2026, so Purple Sage’s 88 is right in line with the district. About 27% of Purple Sage’s students are economically disadvantaged, and roughly a quarter are emergent bilingual students.

Purple Sage Elementary Attendance Zone Map
The map above shows where the Purple Sage Elementary campus building sits. To confirm whether a specific home address is zoned to Purple Sage, use Round Rock ISD’s official interactive boundary map: Round Rock ISD School Boundaries & Maps.
Purple Sage’s zone is less compact than most. Besides the Anderson Mill sections around the campus, it includes Riviera Springs across the county line in Cedar Park and the Northwoods at Avery Ranch condos along Avery Station Loop in 78717, several miles north. Anderson Mill itself is split between Purple Sage and Anderson Mill Elementary, sometimes street by street (homes on opposite sides of Deerbrook Trail are listed with different elementary schools), and Round Rock ISD periodically redraws attendance boundaries. Before writing an offer on a specific address, confirm its assigned school directly with Round Rock ISD or through the district’s official boundary map linked above.

The median sale price in the Purple Sage Elementary zone is $425,000 over the trailing twelve months, about 14% below the $495,000 median of 2022-23. The median price per square foot fell much less, only about 4% ($259.74 to $248.93), so a good part of that headline drop reflects smaller homes making up more of the sales (the median home sold went from 2,025 to 1,882 square feet) rather than values falling 14%. Activity has picked up: 81 homes sold in the trailing twelve months, up 45% from 56 in 2024-25 and the most of any period above, and the median home sold in 22 days at about 98% of list price.

17 single-family homes are currently active or pending in the Purple Sage Elementary zone. At the past year’s pace of nearly seven sales a month, the 15 active listings represent only about two months of supply, which is a tight market. Even so, the median active listing has been on the market 90 days, far longer than the 22-day median for homes that actually sold, which suggests the homes still sitting are priced above what buyers are paying. Buyers can move quickly on well-priced new listings and still negotiate on the ones that have lingered.
