Every campus in the district
| Level | Grades | Campuses |
|---|---|---|
| Elementary | PK to 5 | Benjamin "Doc" Kerley Elementary, Cottonwood Creek Elementary, Hutto Elementary, Howard Norman Elementary, Lee Martinez Elementary, Nadine Johnson Elementary, Ray Elementary, Veterans' Hill Elementary |
| Middle | 6 to 8 | Farley Middle School, Gus Almquist Middle School, Hutto Middle School |
| High | 9 to 12 | Hutto High School, with the Hutto 9th Grade Center serving freshmen |
| Other | Varies | Hutto Virtual Academy, River Horse Academy |
The separate ninth grade center is worth understanding if you are moving in with a rising freshman. It is a deliberate structure many fast-growing Texas districts use to ease the transition into a large high school, and it means your student's campus changes between ninth and tenth grade by design.

Why attendance zones keep moving
Hutto's population grew 51.9 percent between 2020 and 2025, the ninth-fastest rate in the country, and 9.4 percent in the single year between July 2023 and July 2024. Every one of those households arrived in a house, and a large share of them arrived with children.
A district absorbing that has two options: build campuses, and redraw boundaries to balance the ones it has. Hutto ISD does both. That is not dysfunction, it is what responsible capacity planning looks like. But it has a direct consequence for you as a buyer.
What we can and cannot help with
Fair housing law prohibits real estate agents from steering buyers toward or away from neighborhoods based on the demographic composition of schools or on any protected characteristic. That is not a technicality we work around. It is a rule we follow.
What we can do, and will do: show you exactly where the current boundaries fall, point you to the district's own information and the state's published performance data, arrange for you to talk to the district directly, and let you reach your own conclusions. That is the right division of labor anyway. You know what matters to your family better than we do.

Buying a home for the schools
If a school is the reason you are buying in a particular spot, three pieces of practical advice.
- Verify the zone in writing, for the exact address, on the day you offer. Not the neighborhood. Not the listing description. The address, on the district's current map. Listing descriptions are written by people and people make mistakes.
- Ask the district about capacity and boundary planning. Districts absorbing rapid growth generally have demographic studies and facility planning documents that are public. If a boundary change is being contemplated for your area, that is knowable before you buy.
- Consider buying deeper into a zone rather than on its edge. Boundaries get redrawn at the margins. A home in the middle of an attendance area is less likely to be moved than one on the line. This is a genuinely useful heuristic and almost nobody thinks about it.
