Why is the district looking to build another elementary school in the South Hill area when two new elementary schools were recently opened?
While the openings of Carson and Edgerton elementary schools have dramatically helped keep up with increased student population growth, the South Hill region remains a rapidly growing area. Both short-term and long-term housing projections show population in the South Hill region will continue its upward pace. A new 750-student elementary school in the southwest region of the district represents a long-term proactive response to housing growth. The proposed school would be located near large potential future housing developments, allowing the district to serve students for years to come.
