Officials with The Howard Hughes Corp. announced Dec. 7 Waller ISD has purchased a 19-acre parcel of land in Bridgeland for its second elementary school in the master-planned community.

The school will be located at Conservation Crossing and Hilltopping Drive within Prairieland Village and serve 850 students, according to a news release.

Cy-Fair ISD opened McGown Elementary School in Bridgeland this fall, and several additional schools are slated to open in Bridgeland over the next few years, including Cypress Christian School, a Harmony Public Schools campus and CFISD’s Middle School No. 20.

Waller ISD’s first elementary school site in Prairieland Village is expected to break ground in spring 2023.

“Waller ISD and Bridgeland share a deep commitment to educational excellence, and our continued partnership is important for the growth and success of both Prairieland Village and the forthcoming Creekland Village,” said Steve Sams, senior vice president of MPC Residential for The Howard Hughes Corp., in a statement. “Waller ISD’s decision to purchase a second school site west of Grand Parkway in the early stages of development for Prairieland Village speaks to the growth of the community and the desire for personal, community-oriented educational opportunities.”
