Summary

Deerpark Middle in Austin, TX, serves 916 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Round Rock Independent School District (Isd), though it currently ranks in the 42nd percentile statewide, a significant drop from its pre-pandemic 4-star status.

Deerpark's performance is notably lower than its immediate district neighbors, creating a stark contrast within a 5-mile radius. For example, Canyon Vista Middle (99th percentile), Cedar Valley Middle (98th percentile), and Pearson Ranch Middle (94th percentile) are all 5-star schools. Test score gaps are wide: Deerpark's 8th-grade reading proficiency (48%) is nearly half that of Canyon Vista (87%), and its 6th-grade math proficiency (28%) is less than half the district average (61%). However, the school shows a strong "Algebra I paradox"—students who take the advanced Algebra I End-of-Course exam perform exceptionally well (70% proficient), matching the district average, even as standard math scores are critically low. This suggests a strong program for advanced learners, while the majority of students in the standard math track struggle.

Despite these challenges, Deerpark is not in crisis. Its dropout rate is consistently low (0.3%), and it serves a higher percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (43% free/reduced lunch) compared to its high-performing neighbors. A comparison to Westview Middle, just 5.5 miles away in the Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd), shows a school with a 73% free/reduced lunch rate and a 7th percentile state rank, highlighting that Deerpark is a school with significant challenges in a high-performing area rather than a failing one. The most recent data shows a slight uptick from the 39th to 42nd percentile, offering a glimmer of hope that recent interventions may be taking effect.
