About Hays Consolidated Independent School District
Hays Consolidated Independent School District serves approximately 24,500 students across 27 campuses in southern Hays County, Texas. The district's boundaries cover the cities of Kyle and Buda, along with portions of north San Marcos and unincorporated areas between these communities along the Interstate 35 corridor. Hays CISD is headquartered in Kyle and ranks among the larger school districts in the Austin metropolitan area. The district has experienced enrollment growth of over 40% in the past decade, driven by rapid residential development that has transformed Kyle from a small farming town into a city of over 50,000 residents. Projected enrollment is expected to reach approximately 25,600 students in the 2025-2026 school year. The district's student body is 70% minority, and approximately 35% of students are classified as economically disadvantaged.
Homes within the Hays CISD boundaries range from the low $200,000s in older Kyle neighborhoods near downtown to over $600,000 in newer master-planned communities and Buda's hillside developments west of I-35. Kyle's Plum Creek community, one of the area's largest developments with over 4,000 planned homesites, offers new construction in the $300,000 to $450,000 range. Waterleaf and Steeplechase in Kyle provide similar price points. Buda neighborhoods including Sunfield, Whispering Hollow, Garlic Creek, and Carpenter Hill feature homes from the $350,000s to $550,000s. The district's territory along I-35 provides direct commuting access to both Austin (approximately 20 minutes north from Buda during off-peak hours) and San Marcos (approximately 15 minutes south from Kyle), making the area accessible to employers in both cities and the broader central Texas region.
The district operates three comprehensive high schools: Jack C. Hays High School in Buda (approximately 2,500 students), Lehman High School in Kyle (approximately 2,000 students), and Moe and Gene Johnson High School in Buda, the district's newest high school. Six middle schools serve grades 6-8: R.C. Barton and Eric Dahlstrom in Buda, and Laura B. Wallace, Armando Chapa, D.J. Red Simon, and Dr. T.C. McCormick Jr. in Kyle. The district's 17 elementary campuses include Hemphill, Sunfield, Uhland, Jim Cullen, Ralph Pfluger, Negley, Elm Grove, Carpenter Hill, Camino Real, Tobias, Blanco Vista, Kyle, and Buda Elementary, among others. The district also operates Live Oak Academy and the Impact alternative campus. Career and technical education programs, dual credit coursework, fine arts programs, and UIL athletics are offered at the secondary level.
