Chris Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Klein ISD just opened Benignus Elementary School this year, and the school is already overcrowded. The school is located in the prestigious master planned community of Windrose. The building is over 100,000 square feet and has more than 30 classrooms. The building is design to hold 850 students. Benignus has currently recieved 4 T-Buildings within the first 2 months of the school's existance. Hopefully Frank Elementary opening next school year in the master planned community of Gleanloch Farms will relieve this campus. However Frank is being built specifically to relieve Korhville Elementary which has over 1,000 students, and is the most overcrowded elementary school in the Klein ISD. Korhville also has a fleet of T-Buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfootball Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 How many homes are there in Gleannloch? I presume the Elementary school draws from surrounding developments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureAuteur Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Wow, Spring is really growing out there. I long for the more simple times when you could actually drive around freely in your car. I was considering getting an apartment out in Spring, but now I'm not so sure. Too much traffic in the suburbs.MrFootball- do you know if 77429 has this kind of problem with school overcrowding?

Too much traffic in the suburbs.MrFootball- do you know if 77429 has this kind of problem with school overcrowding?I think for the most part they're all pretty steady with enrollment as the area right around here is pretty much built out (or close to it). As you may recall they just opened up a couple new Elementary schools, a middle school and a new High School this year in the 77429 that will relieve Cy-Fair HS (Cy-Woods).If there were any overcrowding, it would be relieved as there will be additional schools opening up over the next two years that will feed into Cypress Ranch HS which is going to be located next to Blackhorse, which is also a very nice area.For all of the complaints about the expensive Berry Center, they have done a good job of opening up nice new facilities at a good clip to keep in line with the immense growth in this area.
