LEANDER ISD

LIBERTY HILL ISD

The district has experienced steady but uneven growth throughout its boundaries in recent years, which led o™cials to put a bond before voters in May to fund modernization and repurposing projects as well as new facilities. The district is projected to serve about 1,000 more students in the 2023-24 school year than in the year prior.

Similarly, Liberty Hill ISD is experiencing immense growth with both the student population and the number of teachers increasing around 60% over the last four to §ve years. As it grows, o™cials are preparing to use funds from a successful May bond to build three new schools and pushed up the opening of Legacy Ranch High School to fall 2024.
