Armando Chapa Middle School was named in 2006 for Armando Chapa, who joined Hays CISD as a special education counselor in 1974, became principal of Hays Middle School in 1975, opened Kyle Middle School (now Wallace Middle School) in 1986 and retired in 2004 after 12 years as a counselor at Barton Middle School. In 2025-26, Chapa enrolled 769 students, with 69.6% economically disadvantaged, 23.4% emergent bilingual, 20.9% receiving special education services and 6.9% identified as gifted and talented, according to TEA. Its student-to-teacher ratio of 14.4 to 1 in 2024-25 was the lowest among Hays CISD’s middle schools. Dr. Lisa Walls, who says she is in her 21st year as a principal, leads the campus in 2026-27, and district projections show the zone growing from about 879 resident middle schoolers in 2026-27 to about 1,016 by 2030-31. GreatSchools and TEA measure different things. GreatSchools weighs test results against schools with similar student populations, while TEA’s rating, below, is the state’s official accountability measure.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Chapa Middle School earned an overall C with a score of 78. That is down 1 point from a C (79) in 2024-25. Chapa was a B campus in 2021-22 (83) and 2022-23 (80) and has been a C since, scoring 78 in 2023-24.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): C (78)
- Student Achievement: C, 75 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: B, 81 out of 100 (Academic Growth C/73, Relative Performance B/81)
- Closing the Gaps: C, 72 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (83) in 2021-22, B (80) in 2022-23, C (78) in 2023-24, C (79) in 2024-25
- Hays CISD (2025-26): B (81) district-wide
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. Chapa’s strongest domain is School Progress, a B (81) in 2025-26, carried by Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, at 81. Academic Growth slipped to a C (73) from 76. Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, has been a C (75) in each of the last five rated years, and Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, fell from 74 to a C (72). Chapa earned distinctions in ELA/Reading and Comparative Academic Growth in 2021-22 and none since. TEA identified the campus for additional targeted support in 2025-26, a federal designation based on results for specific student groups; it had been identified for targeted support in 2021-22 and was not identified in the three years between.

Chapa Middle Attendance Zone Map
Chapa’s 2026-27 zone covers neighborhoods on the east side of Kyle (78640), including Crosswinds, Talavera, Casetta Ranch, Bunton Creek and Bunton Creek Reserve, Kensington Trails, Amberwood, Steeplechase, Southlake Ranch, Sunset Hills, North Trails and the Trails. The zone was not part of the January 2026 rezoning. At the elementary level, Lamont Ramage Elementary opened in August 2025 with a newly created zone, and about 13% of Chapa’s home sales now fall in the Ramage zone.
In 2025, Hays CISD pointed families at overcrowded McCormick Middle School toward Chapa and Dahlstrom through its Hays Choice transfer program. The district expects its 18th elementary school to open around August 2028, and the 2026-27 budget pushed its 7th middle school and 4th high school to 2030, so boundaries may shift again.
