Liberty Hill ISD preps for August opening of Bar W Elementary

After sharing the proposed attendance zones to the community for feedback, the district made a final decision.

Given that Bar W Elementary is located in the Bar W Ranch neighborhood, students living there will attend the new school as well as students from the Omega Ranch and Oaks of San Gabriel neighborhoods.

Students in parts of the MorningStar and Santa Rita Ranch North neighborhoods will also attend Bar W Elementary.

To address the growth in the eastern portion of LHISD, the district will open Tierra Rosa Elementary in August 2024. With this opening, the district will likely readjust attendance boundaries again. Motal said the district aims to disrupt as few neighborhoods as possible during the process.

Located at 2100 Stamp Iron Ave., Leander, Bar W Elementary is built near a large oak tree that will be a part of an outdoor courtyard. Classrooms will share a joint common area between the rooms that will be used for storage and restrooms. The campus will also use a lot of natural light, Motal said.

Motal said the campus had two paraprofessional support staff vacancies as of July 28, but they are expected to be filled before the school opens.
