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
Sommer Elementary earned an overall A (score of 95) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings, released in August 2026. That is a slight dip from its A (97) in 2025, but Sommer has earned an A in every year TEA has issued letter grades since 2019 (ratings were not issued in 2020 and 2021), and it again earned every distinction designation available to an elementary campus.
- Overall TEA Rating (2026): A (95)
- Student Achievement: A (96), based on STAAR performance
- School Progress: A (94), with Academic Growth at A (94) and Relative Performance at B (89)
- Closing the Gaps: A (93)
- Distinction Designations (2026): ELA/Reading, Mathematics, Science, Comparative Academic Growth, Closing the Gaps, and Postsecondary Readiness
- 2025 Rating, for comparison: A (97), with Student Achievement A (97), School Progress A (95), and Closing the Gaps A (96)
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. About 4% of Sommer’s students are economically disadvantaged and about 32% are emergent bilingual students, which is worth keeping in mind when comparing its scores with nearby campuses.

Current Inventory Snapshot
As of September 28, 2026
| Status | Count | Median List Price | Median Days on Market |
| Active | 27 | $799,000 | 81 days |
| Active Under Contract | 5 | $825,000 | 42 days |

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
37 single-family homes are currently active, under contract, or pending in the Sommer Elementary zone. At the past year’s pace of about seven sales a month, the 27 active listings represent roughly four months of supply. The median active listing has been on the market 81 days, far longer than the 18-day median for homes that actually sold, which suggests the homes still sitting are the ones priced above what buyers are paying. That gives buyers room to negotiate on the older listings, while well-priced homes still go under contract quickly.

Both, in a sense. The school itself has an Austin 78717 address in Avery Ranch, but its attendance zone crosses into Cedar Park. Homes in Avery Ranch East and Avery Morrison are in Austin, while The Ranch at Brushy Creek, Park at Brushy Creek, Walsh Trails, and Wilson Trace are in Cedar Park’s 78613 ZIP code. All of them are in Round Rock ISD and Williamson County.
Round Rock ISD’s official School Boundaries & Maps page lets you search any address directly. Avery Ranch is split among four elementary schools in two districts, and parts of Avery Ranch North, the Golf Club at Avery Ranch, and The Ranch at Brushy Creek Section 1 fall outside Sommer’s boundary, so it’s worth confirming the exact address rather than relying on the neighborhood name.
