History

For many years prior to 2016, Argyle ISD had 4 schools: Argyle HS (grades 9-12), Argyle MS (6-8), Argyle Intermediate (4-5), and Hilltop ES (PK-3). Argyle HS and Argyle MS were located in the same building.

2016 - Argyle Middle School moves into a new facility in the Canyon Falls subdivision, which will someday become Argyle High School.^[9]

2019 - Argyle West Elementary opens with grades PK-5. Hilltop and Argyle Intermediate keeps their previous configurations with reduced enrollments.

2020 - Hilltop added 4th grade and Argyle Intermediate only housed 5th grade.

2021 - Argyle Intermediate closed. Argyle South Elementary opened and all 3 elementary campuses housed PK-5. Argyle HS and Argyle MS switch campuses as the Canyon Falls site is expanded.

2022 - All Argyle ISD 6th grade students move to the former Argyle Intermediate campus, renamed Argyle Sixth Grade Center. Argyle MS now houses grades 7-8.

2023 - Hilltop Elementary removes Pre-K due to overcrowding.

2024 - Jane Ruestmann Elementary opens and all elementary campuses return to grades PK-5.

Future

2026 - Scott Gibson Middle School is scheduled to open with grades 7-8.

2027 - Argyle Middle School will move to grades 6-8. The Argyle Sixth Grade Center will be a feeder school for Scott Gibson Middle School. Michael Ball Elementary School will open.

2028 - Argyle Legacy High School will open with grades 9-10 and add a grade over the next two years. Argyle Legacy HS and Argyle MS will share a campus until a new middle school campus is built.
