Looking ahead
Officials said by comparing student ID numbers year-to-year, they were able to show that the number of students leaving the school district from kindergarten to 11th grade increased from 6,653 students leaving in the 2024-25 school year to 7,260 students for the 2025-26 school year. According to the data, the largest class of the current school year is 10th grade, with 5,584 students, and ninth grade has the second-most students, with 5,774 enrolled. The 2022 study projected that the district would see the most growth in the Conroe, Caney Creek and Grand Oaks feeder zones including San Jacinto Elementary School which would have an increase of over 1,700 students. San Jacinto Elementary is not, however, one of the schools which will have an increase, per the Zonda report. Schools that will see an increase in The Woodlands area include Derechin Elementary School, McCullough Junior High School and College Park High School.
Following the presentation, the district now has a clearer and an up-to-date understanding of how it is growing and changing, and it will be receiving quarterly updates from Zonda, Superintendent David Vinson told Community Impact . “In a district like Conroe ISD, where development remains strong with thousands of future lots, multifamily homes, and active subdivisions, having current data is critical,” Vinson said. “These insights allow us to be more strategic in planning for growth and address the needs for teachers and staff.” The Zonda study does project continued growth in the Conroe, Caney Creek and Grand Oaks feeder zones where schools are being built with 2023 bond funds.
