The big picture
In an update on district demographics presented to the district's board of trustees Sept. 16, district demographer Bob Templeton of Zonda Education shared updates on the local housing market, which can indicate upcoming trends in district enrollment.
The update captured housing data for the second quarter of 2024, showing that housing trends in the Wolf Ranch Elementary attendance zone were the most active, followed by Ford and San Gabriel Elementary.
What they're saying
Templeton said the district has room to grow, with about 19,000 lots ready to be developed into single-family homes.
"We've got over 19,000 future lots," he said. "The developers are still developing. So we still have new projects that are underway. We'll see continued delivery of new lots each quarter for the foreseeable future."
How we got here
In a previous demographic update, Templeton said much of the district's enrollment growth in recent years is due to an increase in home building.
In a quarterly update given in November, Templeton shared projections for enrollment over the next decade, showing the district could add 6,181 students to its roll by the 2033-34 school year based on new housing projects planned for the area.
