Summary

Laurel Mountain Elementary in Austin, TX, is a top-performing school in the Round Rock Independent School District (Isd), serving 822 students in grades PK through 5 with a consistently elite statewide ranking in the top 1% of Texas elementary schools.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance across all subjects, particularly in mathematics, where 5th graders achieved a 92.74% proficiency rate in 2025-2026—over 45 percentage points above the state average. It also boasts a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the 6th-grade math STAAR exam for four consecutive years, indicating students are prepared well beyond their grade level. What makes Laurel Mountain unique is its ability to achieve top-tier results for nearly every student subgroup, including Hispanic, Special Education, and Gifted and Talented students, all ranking in the 97th percentile or higher. This is a remarkable feat not matched by nearby schools like Kathy Caraway Elementary, which ranked 454th in the state in 2024-2025. Interestingly, Laurel Mountain achieves these results with relatively low per-student spending ($8,784), compared to Pond Springs Elementary ($12,701) and Jollyville Elementary ($11,867), suggesting its success is driven by a strong school culture and supportive parent community rather than high funding.

For parents comparing options, Laurel Mountain is one of only two schools in the area—along with Canyon Creek Elementary—that consistently ranks in the top 50 in Texas. While Canyon Creek has a slight edge in reading scores (100% proficiency in 5th grade vs. Laurel Mountain’s 90.16%), Laurel Mountain serves a larger and more diverse student body. The school has also shown a dramatic improvement for Hispanic students, jumping from the 94th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 99th percentile in 2025-2026, reflecting effective strategies to close achievement gaps. However, families should note the stark socioeconomic diversity within a few miles: Laurel Mountain has a 6.08% free/reduced lunch rate, while Anderson Mill Elementary (2 miles away) has 61.88%, directly correlating with the wide range of academic outcomes in the area.

The Laurel Mountain teachers, staff, and parents all work to help develop the whole child -- academics and social awareness. This is an extremely ethnically diverse school and I applaud the entire community's efforts to make the most of that diversity. Close Quote
