Education in Round Rock

Round Rock offers a unique and unprecedented approach to education – it’s called collaboration. Education in Round Rock is delivered to educate all citizens to the maximum ability and desire through collaboration and cooperation among all educational institutions - from our exemplary elementary schools to our accredited colleges and all points in-between.

Our approach to education is guided by the Round Rock Master Plan for Advancing Higher Education adopted in 2009.

Round Rock ISD’s teachers, administrators and all employees encourage students starting at the elementary school level to begin preparing for life after high school. From day one, all students are taught to plan on attending community college, a four-year university or an institute of higher education. Round Rock ISD is well-known for its exemplary schools with 90 percent of all students passing the Reading/English language arts, writing and social studies portions of the 2010 Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test.

Round Rock ISD High School Students are able to select more than 85 dual credit and technology prep articulation credits through cooperation with Austin Community College. Round Rock ISD’s robust articulation and dual-credit agreement with Austin Community College creates a smooth transition to multiple career pathways from high school to community college and allows all students the option to earn college credit while in high school. The collaboration of ACC and Round Rock ISD lays the groundwork in high school for a profession in the fields of engineering, medicine, business and many others by helping students accelerate their career goals.
