Leander Independent School District school district map
Leander Independent School District
Grades K–127/10
49 schools Rating range: 410 / 10

Leander Independent School District is a high-performing 'Solid' district that remains a regional leader in academic outcomes and educator quality, despite managing a $34 million budget deficit and contentious school consolidations. With terminal high schools like Vandegrift, Vista Ridge, and Cedar Park consistently achieving top-tier ratings and national certifications, the district's academic floor is exceptionally high. While fiscal restructuring has led to the elimination of approximately 150 teaching positions and the closure of Faubion Elementary, the district's proactive use of open enrollment and data-driven resource management indicates a stable organization navigating growth-related financial pressures without compromising its core mission of college readiness and instructional excellence.

Round Rock ISD is a premier, stable district characterized by exceptional academic achievement, particularly within its high school feeder patterns which include some of the highest-rated campuses in Texas. While the district is grappling with a projected $30 million budget deficit and modest teacher pay increases that lag behind inflation, its ability to pass significant bond measures and maintain an 'A+' rating from Niche underscores strong community support.
