Kyle Elementary is the oldest campus in Hays CISD. It opened in 1939 as the Kyle Independent School District school, with buildings put up with Works Progress Administration help, and later served as Kyle High School until Kyle, Buda and Wimberley consolidated into Hays CISD in 1967. The old high school building now holds the front office, clinic and classrooms on a campus that covers two city blocks. In 2025-26, Kyle Elementary enrolled 650 students, with 47.7% economically disadvantaged, 7.2% English learners, 23.5% receiving special education services and 6.2% identified as gifted and talented, according to TEA. A 2025 bond project of about $43.6 million is renovating the administrative area and cafeteria and adding a library, and construction is expected to continue into the 2026-27 school year. 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, Kyle Elementary earned an overall B with a score of 81. That is up 6 points from a C (75) in 2024-25. Kyle Elementary has moved between a high C and a low B in recent years: 78 (C) in 2021-22, 83 (B) in 2022-23 and 79 (C) in 2023-24.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): B (81)
- Student Achievement: C, 77 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: C, 79 out of 100 (Academic Growth C/79, Relative Performance C/75)
- Closing the Gaps: B, 84 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: C (78) in 2021-22, B (83) in 2022-23, C (79) in 2023-24, C (75) 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. The 2025-26 gain came mostly from Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups and rose from a C (73) to a B (84). School Progress improved from 71 to a C (79), with Academic Growth at 79 and Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, at 75. Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, held steady at a C (77, up from 76). Even with the higher overall grade, TEA identified the campus for targeted support and improvement in 2025-26, a designation based on the results of specific student groups. Kyle Elementary has not earned distinction designations in any of these years.

Kyle Elementary Attendance Zone Map
Kyle Elementary’s zone covers downtown Kyle around Center Street and the historic square, including older plats such as the Jose Addition and Scott Addition, and newer subdivisions such as Paramount, Opal Meadows, Hometown Kyle, Stagecoach, Kyle 47, Silverado at Plum Creek, Creekside Village and Spring Branch. The zone did not change for 2026-27, and Kyle Elementary was not part of the January 2026 rezoning.
