35 schools Rating range: 210 / 10

Pflugerville ISD is currently in a distressed operational state, marked by a projected $18 million budget deficit and an aggressive optimization plan involving the potential closure of six to seven campuses. While the district maintains a diverse student body and specific high-performing academic anchors (such as Hendrickson HS and Kelly Lane Middle), the organization is struggling with declining enrollment and a rapidly depleting fund balance that threatens long-term solvency. Current leadership is navigating significant community pushback and a 'C' rating from the TEA, placing the district in a period of high-stakes transition where financial survival is currently overshadowing academic expansion.
