August 11, 2025 • By Ellison Development

A School District on the Rise

When families choose a new community, schools are often at the top of their priority list. For those moving to Waller Trails in Hempstead, Texas, there’s good news—Hempstead ISD is making big strides in education, student success, and community support.

Under the guidance of a unified school board and visionary leadership, Hempstead ISD has adopted a clear five-year plan, Learning & Leading to Higher Heights. The result? Historic academic growth, new opportunities for students, and investments in facilities that ensure every child has the resources they need to succeed.

Early College Opportunities

One of Hempstead ISD’s most unique advantages is its Early College High School program. Students can graduate high school with a full associate degree—at no cost to families. This program not only saves thousands in tuition but also gives students a head start in their careers or college education.


Small Class Sizes, Big Impact

With a lower student-to-teacher ratio, Hempstead ISD offers personalized instruction and stronger teacher-student relationships. This creates a learning environment where no child gets lost in the crowd, and each student can thrive academically and socially.


Record Academic Growth

Recent state assessments revealed double-digit growth in many areas, with Hempstead ISD outpacing both Waller ISD and Royal ISD in overall academic progress. Campuses saw remarkable improvements in STAAR performance, career and technical education, and other key academic indicators.


A Strong Foundation for the Future

From a brand-new early childhood center currently under construction to upgraded safety measures and campus enhancements funded by a $45.7 million bond, Hempstead ISD is making long-term investments that directly benefit families.


Beyond the Classroom

Students in Hempstead ISD have access to award-winning fine arts programs—including a high school One Act Play team that has placed 2nd and 3rd at state in consecutive years—as well as upgraded athletic facilities that support student-athletes and community events.


Why This Matters for Waller Trails Families

For families moving into Waller Trails, this means more than just a new home—it’s a gateway to exceptional education, safe learning environments, and pathways to lifelong success. Whether your child is starting in pre-K or preparing for college, Hempstead ISD offers a supportive, forward-thinking environment to help them reach their full potential.

 

The Bottom Line

When you choose Waller Trails, you’re not just choosing a home—you’re choosing a future shaped by opportunity, community, and education. Hempstead ISD’s commitment to excellence makes it one of the region’s most promising districts for families ready to put down roots in Hempstead, Texas.
