Live Oak Academy

This school is a part of Hays Consolidated Independent School District

Hays CISD is a district in a state of transition, currently categorized as Mixed/Transition due to a severe financial crisis and inconsistent academic performance across its portfolio. While the district benefits from prestigious extracurricular programs and pockets of excellence in high-performing elementary schools, it is grappling with a $12.25 million budget deficit, layoffs, and operational instability. Sharp disparities exist between its top-tier facilities and struggling campuses like Lehman High School, which has recently faced significant bullying and safety scandals. Despite a stable overall state rating, declining internal growth metrics and staffing shortages in Special Education suggest that the district is struggling to maintain quality while navigating rapid population growth and fiscal constraints.
