Summary:

The Hays Consolidated Independent School District serves 27 schools in the greater Kyle and Buda areas of Texas, including 5 high schools, 6 middle schools, and 16 elementary schools, and is ranked 437th out of 951 districts in the state, earning a 3-star rating.

The district shows a clear performance hierarchy, with Elm Grove Elementary (5 stars, 92nd percentile) and Carpenter Hill Elementary (4 stars, 88th percentile) leading the pack, while Camino Real Elementary and Science Hall Elementary (both 1 star) face significant challenges. Among middle schools, Eric Dahlstrom Middle (4 stars, 85th percentile) and R C Barton Middle (4 stars, 83rd percentile) stand out as top performers, while Dr T C McCormick Junior Middle and D J Red Simon Middle lag behind. At the high school level, Moe And Gene Johnson High School (4 stars) outperforms Jack C Hays High School (3 stars) and Lehman High School (2 stars), with Johnson High leading in Biology and English scores. Alternative schools like Alter Impact Center (0 stars) and Live Oak Academy (1 star) serve specialized student populations but have the lowest test scores and rankings.

A critical finding is the district's "middle school math problem," where 7th-grade math proficiency averages just 12.34%, far below the state average of 29.41%, yet Algebra I scores for advanced students in middle schools like R C Barton and Eric Dahlstrom reach 100% proficiency. Per-student spending varies widely, from $8,244 at Eric Dahlstrom Middle to $137,935 at Alter Impact Center, but higher spending does not guarantee better outcomes—low-poverty schools like Eric Dahlstrom (12.56% free/reduced lunch) outperform high-poverty schools like Camino Real (71.21%) regardless of budget. The district's graduation rate averages 91.9%, with Jack C Hays High School leading at 94.8% and Live Oak Academy lowest at 88.3%.
