These ratings measure different things, which is worth knowing before comparing schools. GreatSchools weighs test performance against schools serving similar student populations and can lag a year or more behind. 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
Walsh Middle School earned an overall A (95) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2026 accountability ratings, released in August 2026. That extends a remarkably consistent record: Walsh has been rated an A every year TEA has issued ratings since 2022, scoring between 93 and 96 each time.
- Overall TEA Rating (2026): A (95)
- Student Achievement: A (95), based on STAAR performance and other readiness measures
- School Progress: A (90), with Academic Growth at A (90) and Relative Performance at B (87)
- Closing the Gaps: A (94)
- 2026 Distinctions: Academic Achievement in Social Studies, Postsecondary Readiness, and Top 25% Comparative Closing the Gaps
- Rating history: 2022 A (96), 2023 A (94), 2024 A (94), 2025 A (93), 2026 A (95)
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 received a B (89) for 2026, so Walsh is performing well above the district overall. Walsh’s strength is broad: all three domains earned an A this year, and it picked up three of TEA’s distinction designations, including a Top 25% ranking statewide among comparable campuses for closing achievement gaps between student groups.

Walsh’s zone is made up of three elementary school zones on Round Rock’s west side. Old Town Elementary covers the established neighborhoods between Sam Bass Road and Brushy Creek, such as Wood Glen, Hidden Glen, The Woods, Clear Creek, Bent Tree, and Creekbend.

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 | 211 | $535,000 | $221.16 | 98% | 29 days |
| Sept 2023 – Aug 2024 | 208 | $556,250 | $233.42 | 99% | 21 days |
| Sept 2024 – Aug 2025 | 185 | $530,000 | $224.44 | 98% | 27 days |
| Trailing 12 Months (Sept 2025 – Aug 2026) | 192 | $569,681 | $220.21 | 98% | 31 days |
Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The Walsh zone’s median sale price over the trailing twelve months, $569,681, is about 6.5% higher than three years ago ($535,000) and about 7.5% above the 2024-25 figure of $530,000, making it the highest of the four periods. Price per square foot tells a more modest story: at $220.21 it is essentially flat with 2022-23 and about 5.7% below the 2023-24 peak of $233.42, so part of the higher median reflects somewhat larger homes selling (a median of about 2,555 sq ft this past year versus 2,511 the year before). Volume has held between 185 and 211 sales a year. The pace has slowed a little: the median home took 31 days to sell this past year, up from 21 days in 2023-24, and homes are closing at about 98% of list price.

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
86 homes are currently active, under contract, or pending in the Walsh Middle School zone. The 73 active listings have a median list price of $499,950 and a median of 73 days on market, more than double the 31-day median for homes that actually sold this past year, so buyers have a healthy selection right now and homes that have been sitting may leave room to negotiate. The pending homes skew smaller (a median of about 1,940 sq ft), which is why their median list price is lower.
