Eanes ISD focuses on enrollment growth at Valley View Elementary
Two-minute impact
Valley View Elementary enrollment Student enrollment at Valley View Elementary has seen a significant decline in enrollment since the 2017-18 school year.
Enrollment at Valley View Elementary has declined by almost half, with a student population of 279 for the 2023-24 school year, according to district documents. Arnett said one of the reasons for the decline is that the attendance area is not geographically contiguous with where the school is located. He said EISD will make Valley View Elementary the default—or first choice—campus for new transfers. The lack of a Spanish immersion program also contributed to the enrollment decline, Arnett said. David Page, a member of the Spanish Immersion Task Force, said at an Oct. 6 meeting that EISD could be losing out on additional state funding. According to the Texas Education Agency, public school districts receive $308 per student enrolled in a bilingual language program. EISD will add the Spanish immersion program to the campus next school year, Arnett said.
