Hutto ISD added more than 500 students to its total enrollment in the 2024-25 school year, a demographic update shows. What you need to know In a quarterly demographic update from district demogra- pher Bob Templeton of Zonda Education given Dec. 12, Tem- pleton said the district added 559 new students to the district— about 40 students higher than HISD student enrollment rises by over 500
originally projected by the rm. Templeton said regional economic activity—like the draw of Samsung and other active industries—are large contributors to this increased enrollment. The details While enrollment is slightly higher than originally projected, Templeton said projections for kindergarten enrollment were slightly low because of a lower birth rate. Earlier this year, the Austin area ranked lowest for birth rate among major cities in Texas, and the fth lowest in the nation. Additionally, the report shows HISD’s enrollment is projected to grow to 15,482 by 2033-34.
