Demographer: Medina Valley ISD added about 3,200 students in five years; projects 14,000 in five years and 19,000 in 10 years
Summary
The district’s demographer told the board the district has grown roughly 3,200 students in five years and that current housing activity could bring enrollment to about 14,000 in five years and about 19,000 in 10 years; dozens of large subdivisions and thousands of buildable lots are active in the district.
The district demographer presented a detailed housing-and-enrollment briefing to the Medina Valley ISD Board of Trustees on Feb. 24, 2025, saying the district has added “a little over 3,200 students” in the last five years and describing extensive residential development across multiple attendance zones.
The demographer, Mr. Huff (Demographer), told the board that within the district there are 65 active subdivisions and about 5,200 lots currently available to be built on, plus roughly 27,000 future lots in the planning or platting pipeline. “With continued progression of the amount of lots,” Huff said, “we would anticipate growth in the double-digit range,” and projected roughly 14,000 students in five years and about 19,000 students 10 years out.
Huff outlined large-scale projects by zone, naming developments with thousands of total lots and describing phase-by-phase activity (starts, closings and homes under construction). He said the district had about 2,377 annual starts in the most recent year and reported strong quarterly closings. The consultant emphasized that production-level builders are responsible for much of the lot supply and that many subdivisions currently have vacant developed lots ready to be built on.
Why it matters: the demographer’s numbers drive campus capacity planning, attendance zone work, portable usage and bond-funded construction. District staff tied the presentation to earlier committee briefings on portables and on permitting with TxDOT and CPS related to the new Creekview High School. Trustees asked questions about the five- and 10-year enrollment projections and about the near-term distribution of growth across elementary, middle and high school attendance zones.
