Summary:
The Round Rock Independent School District (Isd) in Texas serves 15,224 high school students across eight diverse schools, ranging from large comprehensive campuses to specialized programs, and is ranked in the top 21% of Texas districts.
For parents, the standout is Rrisd Early College High School, an academic powerhouse ranking in the top 2.5% of Texas high schools with a 98th percentile state rank, 0% dropout rate, and average test proficiency of 88.3%—far exceeding the district average of 62.3%. The consistent high-achievers are Round Rock High School and Westwood High School, both ranking in the top 10% (92nd percentile) with graduation rates above 98.8% and low free/reduced lunch percentages around 12-13%. In contrast, Success High School faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 4% with a 71.4% graduation rate and 12.7% dropout rate, while Round Rock Opport Center Daep is a unique disciplinary alternative program with 76 students and extraordinarily high per-student spending of $1.46 million.
Key metrics reveal a clear performance gap: the district average graduation rate is 95.4%, but schools like Cedar Ridge High School, McNeil High School, and Stony Point High School perform near state averages but below top performers, representing key areas for improvement. Interestingly, spending does not correlate with success—Rrisd Early College High School spends the least per student ($7,649) yet achieves the best outcomes, while Success High School spends the most ($13,529) with the worst results. The "middle" schools, with moderate economic disadvantage rates of 24-33%, offer the greatest opportunity for district-wide improvement through targeted resources.
