Xplore Preschool & School Age Care
For little ones who aren’t quite old enough for school, the Xplore Preschool is both local and highly acclaimed. They provide education and care for ages 6 weeks through pre-K, with a robust curriculum that includes a range of hands-on concepts and skills.

You’ll always know what they’ve been up to that day.
Cactus Ranch Elementary School
Lucky for Behrens Ranch residents, Cactus Ranch Elementary is actually located inside the neighborhood, making it an easy walk, jog, or bike ride away from home. And it’s no slouch academically, either—in 2019, Cactus Ranch Elementary ranked better than 99.8% of elementary schools in Texas. Currently, there are just over 963 students in attendance, with a student-teacher ratio of 17 to 1.
James Garland Walsh Middle School
The students at James Garland Walsh Middle School regularly achieve above-average test scores and rank high in national averages. The teachers are dedicated to their students and give even struggling students the extra care and guidance they need to succeed. This middle school placed in the top 5% of all schools in Texas for overall test scores in 2017, and consistently ranks in the top 94% for proficiency in math and reading.
Round Rock High School
While we’ve waxed eloquent about Round Rock High School before, there’s always time to reiterate this school’s excellence. It’s ranked 99th within Texas, and in the top 1000 nationwide, with students that regularly test high against national averages. There are groups and clubs for every interest, leadership opportunities for all ages, and dedicated teachers throughout the campus. Your child’s final step before college will come with guidance, preparation, and ongoing support.
