Angie's Take

Angie Ufomata

Former teacher · 9 years in Round Rock ISD

Leander is the growth story of Austin-area schools. Ten years ago this was a quiet bedroom community — now it’s one of the fastest-growing districts in Texas with facilities that rival districts twice its age. What impresses me most is the community investment: parents here are deeply involved, and the district has managed to maintain quality despite explosive enrollment growth. If you want new everything — new schools, new neighborhoods, new energy — Leander delivers.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Leander ISD growing too fast?

It’s a fair concern. Leander ISD has been one of the fastest-growing districts in Texas for years. But the district has been proactive about opening new campuses to keep class sizes manageable. Most newer schools are well-staffed and well-equipped. The growth brings investment, not just crowding.

How does Leander ISD compare to Round Rock ISD?

Both are A/B-rated districts with strong academics. Round Rock ISD has more history and established traditions. Leander ISD has newer facilities and a fast-growing, community-oriented culture. Families who want established neighborhoods tend to prefer RRISD; those drawn to new construction and newer campuses gravitate toward LISD.
