What feeds into Simon, and where it goes next
Simon sits in the middle of the Lehman feeder path on the east side of Kyle. Students arrive from Hays CISD elementaries, and Simon then feeds into Lehman High:
Simon draws from elementaries including Hemphill and Uhland, and feeds up to Lehman High. Kyle is split between Lehman and Jack C. Hays, and which elementary a home feeds through depends on the exact address, so I confirm the current path for any property first.
Homes in the Simon Middle School zone
Simon serves the east FM 150 side of Kyle, pulling from the growing area between Kyle and Uhland near I-35 and Highway 21, with a mix of established homes, rural tracts, and newer subdivisions. It's a practical, mid-priced part of Hays County. The thing to know: this side of Kyle feeds Lehman rather than Jack C. Hays, and homes can sit in a MUD or PID, so I confirm both the zone and the tax picture for the address.
Simon anchors the Lehman side of east Kyle. The catch buyers miss is Kyle's two-high-school split: east and south Kyle feeds Lehman, while Hometown Kyle can feed Jack C. Hays. I confirm which high school the address actually feeds, and the tax district, before you're under contract.
How to confirm your address is zoned to Simon
Use Hays CISD's official boundary lookup. The district publishes a find-my-school tool where you enter an address and it returns the assigned elementary, middle, and high school. That's the source of truth, not the real estate listing, which can carry outdated school data, especially in a district growing as fast as Hays.
Or ask me. Send me an address or a the east FM 150 side of Kyle pocket you're considering and I'll confirm the zone, pull the current middle and high school on the path, and flag anything that affects your decision.
