The fast-growing far-west district. Hill Country small towns, brand-new campuses like Creek View High School, and one of the steepest growth curves in Texas, driven by master-planned communities along the US 90 corridor.
TEA accountability
Medina Valley ISD earned a B accountability rating (80 of 100 points) from the Texas Education Agency for the 2024-25 school year, a solid showing for a district growing as quickly as any in Texas.
Campuses
10 campuses as of August 2026: 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, after Creek View High School opened as the district's first new high school in about 60 years. Enrollment was 9,596 in 2024-25 and has grown more than 10 percent a year for three consecutive years.
What Medina Valley ISD is known for
One of the fastest-growing districts in Texas. Enrollment is up more than 134 percent since 2016 and has grown more than 10 percent a year for three straight years, powered by master-planned communities like Silos, Prominence, Red Bird Ranch, and Hunters Ranch.
New schools are the story. Silos Elementary opened in 2024, and Creek View High School, the district's first new high school in about 60 years, opened in August 2026, with more campuses planned as subdivisions fill in.
Small-town Hill Country character. Headquartered in Castroville, the district serves La Coste, Rio Medina, and the surrounding communities, keeping its rural roots and community feel even as the suburbs arrive.
Solid academics for the price point. The B rating (80 points) for 2024-25 comes alongside strong testing performance, and the district's combination of newer schools and far-west prices is the core of its appeal for growing families.
What families should know
Boundaries shift as campuses open. Fast growth means rezoning is a recurring fact of life here, so confirm the current feeder pattern for your exact address and ask about any planned boundary changes before you commit.
New construction is the default way to buy in. Most families arrive via the master-planned communities along US 90 and SH 211, and the commute to downtown San Antonio or the west side runs roughly 20 to 35 minutes.
The district stretches across Bexar and Medina county land. Property tax bills and appraisal districts differ by county, so know which side of the line your address sits on.
Campuses fill quickly. Silos Elementary and the existing schools have absorbed a wave of growth, so ask about current enrollment and class sizes at the specific campus your street feeds.
Watch the school calendar for changes. With a new high school online and more construction planned, boundaries and start times can move between years; the district is transparent about plans, but it pays to ask directly.
