Summary

Dearing Elementary in Round Rock, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 474 students as part of the Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a strong upward trajectory, earning a 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year and ranking in the 72nd percentile of all Texas elementary schools.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance with African American students, who ranked in the 83rd percentile statewide in the most recent year, a remarkable achievement that highlights the school's effectiveness in supporting all learners. Dearing also excels in Reading, consistently outperforming both district and state averages across all tested grades. However, its Mathematics performance is inconsistent: while 3rd and 5th graders beat district and state averages, 4th graders lag significantly behind. Additionally, the school has a persistent weakness in 5th Grade Science, with only 21.8% of students proficient in 2024-2025, below the district and state averages. This "leaky pipeline" effect, where strong 3rd-grade performance doesn't always carry through to 5th grade, is a key area for improvement.

Dearing is surrounded by higher-performing schools like Highland Park Elementary (87th percentile) and Murchison Elementary (92nd percentile), which serve fewer economically disadvantaged students. Despite this, Dearing achieves solid results with a more diverse student body, making it a compelling choice for families. It outperforms nearby Gattis Elementary (52nd percentile) and is on par with Forest Creek Elementary (85th percentile). For parents seeking a school with a strong sense of community, a focus on reading, and a proven ability to improve, Dearing is a rising star worth considering.
