In recent times, new housing subdivisions have brought an influx of new residents and students to the small school district. In 2005, the district opened its first new campus since its founding. The school was named King's Ridge Preparatory Academy after a longtime board member and local dairy farmer.

The district's two schools serve over 800 students and are community gathering centers for residents. In 2009, the district hired new administration and implemented stronger teacher evaluations to increase student achievement. The board also approved a campaign to put the latest technology in the classroom, including interactive whiteboards and handheld learning tools for students.
