Frenship ISD has continued to grow since its beginning in 1935. The housing boom in the areas south and southwest of Lubbock and in Wolfforth, the ongoing growth of the Milwaukee corridor, the completion of the Marsha Sharp Freeway, and the eventual completion of Loop 88, all ensure that Frenship ISD will continue to experience substantial growth for many years to come.
Thriving and growing school districts are a vital component of strong communities and continuing economic progress. Frenship now serves 11,700+ students, a 32% increase over the last decade. Recognized as one of the fastest growing districts in Texas, Frenship welcomes hundreds of new students each year, and we will continue to see a 2-5% increase in enrollment annually. Currently, we have 16 campuses: Frenship High School, Frenship Ninth Grade Center, Reese Education Center, four middle schools, and nine elementary schools.
With this fast growth, Frenship is outgrowing some of the existing facilities and some campuses are experiencing crowding. Demographers project Frenship ISD will serve more than 15,000 students by 2030 and 33,000 students in 50 years.
Over the next five years, demographers project Frenship's elementary age population will grow by more than 1,000 students. If approved by voters, the 2024 VATRE and Bond propositions will address the growing student population needs with the construction of two new elementary campuses, improved campus safety and security, various renovations for existing campuses, additional student transportation, instructional technology, hiring staff for new campuses, maintaining class size, and expand student programs.
