Simon Middle School opened in 2009 with 450 students and 21 teachers. It is named for Delvin John “Red” Simon, a Kyle ISD trustee who led the Kyle board through the 1967 consolidation with Buda and Wimberley and was the first Hays CISD board president, serving until 1972. In 2025-26, Simon enrolled 875 students, with 78.7% economically disadvantaged, 43.3% emergent bilingual, 21.4% receiving special education services and 8.1% identified as gifted and talented, according to TEA; its emergent bilingual share was the highest among Hays CISD middle schools. District projections show Simon’s zone growing faster than any other Hays CISD middle school, from about 1,035 resident students in 2026-27 to about 1,598 by 2030-31, and a 2025-bond addition is expanding the campus toward about 1,200 students. Sean Fox continues as principal. 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, Simon Middle School earned an overall B with a score of 80. That is up 8 points from a C (72) in 2024-25 and continues a steady recovery: Simon was a D (69) in 2022-23 and an F (59) in 2023-24. It was not rated in 2021-22 under Senate Bill 1365.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): B (80)
- Student Achievement: C, 72 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: B, 80 out of 100 (Academic Growth C/79, Relative Performance B/80)

- Prior Overall Ratings: Not Rated (Senate Bill 1365) in 2021-22, D (69) in 2022-23, F (59) in 2023-24, C (72) 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 biggest gain came in School Progress, which rose from a C (70) to a B (80). Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, jumped from a D (60) to a B (80), and Academic Growth rose from 70 to a C (79). Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, improved from a D (67) to a C (72), and Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, rose from 78 to a B (80). Simon has not earned distinction designations in these years. TEA identified the campus for targeted support and improvement in 2023-24 and 2024-25, and it is no longer identified in 2025-26.

Simon Middle Attendance Zone Map
Simon’s 2026-27 zone covers southeast Kyle (78640) east of I-35, including Sunset Oaks, Hymeadow, Pradera, Watermill, Harvest Creek, Cool Springs, Wayside, Marigold, Waterleaf, Woodlands Park, Grist Mill Highlands and Bollinger. 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 10% of Simon’s home sales now fall in the Ramage zone.
Growth is the main issue here. The zone is projected to add about 563 resident middle schoolers between 2026-27 and 2030-31, and the bond project (about $14.8 million registered with the state, part of a combined $26.9 million guaranteed price with Hemphill Elementary) is meant to bring Simon to about 1,200 seats. Hays CISD expects its 18th elementary school around August 2028 and pushed its 7th middle school and 4th high school to 2030 in the 2026-27 budget.
