The New Braunfels ISD board of trustees approved new elementary attendance zones for the 2025-26 school year March 10. The district will open two new elementary schools in the fall—Legend Point Elementary and the “new” Lamar Elementary—which is why the district rezoned its attendance zones, according to a news release.
Digging deeper Legend Point will open in August as part of the Dragon feeder pattern. The “new” Lamar Elemen- tary will also open in August as part of the Unicorn feeder pattern, the news release states. The goal of the rezoning process is to ensure all students have access to high-quality education and support the long-term growth and success of the district.
