What Tobias feeds into
Tobias starts one of the Jack C. Hays feeder paths. From here, students continue to Laura B. Wallace Middle and then to Jack C. Hays High:
This part of Kyle runs Tobias to Wallace to Jack C. Hays High, not Lehman in east Kyle. Kyle splits between high schools, so I confirm the current elementary, middle, and high school for any specific address before you write an offer.
Homes in the Tobias zone
Tobias serves the east FM 150 area of Kyle (78640), a growing stretch near I-35 and the FM 150 corridor with a mix of established and newer homes, close to both Kyle and Buda. It's a practical, mid-priced part of Hays County. The thing to know: Kyle splits between Jack C. Hays and Lehman, and this side leans Jack C. Hays, so I confirm the exact high-school zone, and the tax picture, for the address.
Tobias is a solid Kyle elementary with reading well above the district, on the side of town that leans toward Jack C. Hays rather than Lehman. Kyle's high-school split trips buyers up, so 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 Tobias
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 That's the source of truth, not the real estate listing, which can carry outdated school data, especially in a district growing as fast as Hays.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 area 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.

When you're ready to look at homes, reach out and I'll map the zone to the right neighborhoods.
