Behrens Ranch lies within the state and nationally recognized Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD). RRISD accomplishments include:

• National and Texas Blue Ribbon Awards

• Two "Recognized" ratings from the Texas Education Agency
• Eleven National Blue Ribbons
• Fourteen State Blue Ribbons
• And 81% of its High School seniors take the ACT and SAT, scoring well above the national average

Campuses in the district are designed according to a "neighborhood school" concept that seeks to build smaller than typical schools into our community neighborhoods. A result of this concept and Masonwood Development's commitment to creating a quality community is the on-site elementary school - Cactus Ranch Elementary. Cactus Ranch has earned a Gold Performance Award from the Texas Education Agency, as well as an "Exemplary" rating, which is the highest rating given for the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) test.
