Hays Consolidated Independent School District is a public school district based in Kyle, Texas (USA). In addition to Kyle, the district serves the city of Buda, and other areas in northern Hays County.[1] The Hays Consolidated Independent School District reaches more than 221 square miles. The district's 23 campuses are located throughout northern Hays County, serving nearly 20,000 students.[2]

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[3]

As of 2013 HCISD covers 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) of land within the City of Austin, making up 1.2% of the city's territory.[4]

The district was formed as a merger between the Buda, Kyle and Wimberly Independent School Districts in 1967 for financial purposes.[5]
