Living in Decker Middle
The Decker Middle School attendance zone covers the Decker / east Manor area along the SH 130 toll road and Decker Lane. The campus at 8104 Decker Lane sits in eastern Manor, near Walter E. Long Park (Decker Lake). Decker MS feeds into Manor New Technology HS — MISD's project-based-learning specialty HS opened 2007 in the New Tech Network.
The Manor New Technology High School attendance zone — Manor ISD's project-based-learning specialty HS — serves students by lottery from across MISD's full coverage area. The campus is at 10323 US-290 in Manor, opened on August 27, 2007 as part of the New Tech Network (modeled after Sacramento New Technology High School). President Barack Obama visited Manor New Tech in May 2013 on a national jobs and opportunity tour.
Because Manor New Tech is a magnet/specialty HS rather than a geographic-zone comprehensive HS, students come from across MISD's full coverage area: the city of Manor, a wide section of northeastern Austin (about 6.9% of Austin's territory), and a small portion of Pflugerville. The campus's STEAM-focused, project-based instructional model and 2019 renovation (a two-story addition, fabrication lab, remodeled gymnasium, and sustainability upgrades) make it one of MISD's most-distinctive facilities.
Day-to-day retail and recreation accessible to Manor New Tech students mirror the broader MISD area: US-290 corridor commercial, the Mueller redevelopment to the southwest in AISD, and Tesla Gigafactory Texas just south in DVISD. Healthcare access centers on Ascension Seton Northeast in Pflugerville and the Mueller-area Dell Children's Medical Center.
Outdoor recreation centers on Walter E. Long Park and the Colorado River corridor (shared with Manor HS), the SH 130 / US-290 corridor, and the broader east-Travis-County trail and park system. Manor's annual events include the Manor Mosquito Festival and the surrounding city commemorations.
