    Round Rock ISD has developed the Aligned Round Rock Curriculum (ARRC) with the assistance of teachers, instructional coaches, and curriculum specialists. The ARRC is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and state assessments. The ARRC documents outline the learning goals and objectives RRISD students are expected to achieve and provides resources for instruction. The ARRC provides teachers with planning documents that:

  • Ensure equal opportunities for all students to learn the curriculum
  • Reduce gaps and unproductive redundancies in the curriculum
  • Serve as a basis for district curriculum-based assessments
  • Focus teacher planning time on instruction
  • Academies

    In Round Rock ISD, partnerships with employers, the community, and local colleges bring resources from outside the high school to improve student motivation and achievement.

    The Academy programs offered at the five comprehensive high schools within Round Rock ISD:

  • The Health Science Academy
  • The Business and Industry Academy
  • The Public Services Academy
  • The Visual and Performing Arts Academy
