• Round Rock ISD maintains "B" in TEA accountability ratings (communityimpact.com) — Round Rock ISD has again earned an overall "B" rating from the Texas Education Agency for the 2025-26 school year, scoring 89 out of 100. Fourteen campuses improved at least one letter grade, while only two received D ratings, triggering stricter turnaround plans. District leaders say they'd have scored an A without a state rule capping districts with low-rated campuses.
