Summary

Purple Sage Elementary is a mid-sized school in Austin, TX, serving 502 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the highly-rated Round Rock Independent School District (Isd). This school has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for nearly a decade, placing it in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools and offering a reliable, high-quality education in a neighborhood where nearby schools range from 2-star to elite 5-star institutions.

Purple Sage stands out for its exceptional support of specific student groups. Its Gifted and Talented program has seen a dramatic improvement, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, up from the 70th percentile just three years prior. The school also excels with its Special Education students, who ranked in the 94th percentile, and its Hispanic students, who ranked in the 91st percentile. A particularly impressive achievement is that for four consecutive years, 100% of Purple Sage’s 6th graders have scored proficient on the STAAR Math exam, far exceeding district and state averages. While the school performs well overall, it has identified a need for targeted support for its Multi-racial students, who ranked in the 26th percentile.

Compared to its neighbors, Purple Sage offers a compelling "middle ground." It is not as intensely competitive as the nearby 5-star schools like Spicewood Elementary and Canyon Creek Elementary, but it consistently outperforms Forest North Elementary and Anderson Mill Elementary. The school achieves strong results with a moderate per-student spending of $10,999, suggesting efficient resource use. For families seeking a stable, high-performing school with outstanding programs for advanced learners and strong support for all students, Purple Sage is a standout choice in the Round Rock ISD cluster.
