Frequently Asked Questions

As CSISD experienced fast-growth for many years, enrollment increased unevenly across elementary schools. Pebble Creek, Southwood Valley, and Spring Creek Elementary are projected to reach or exceed capacity by the 2025–2026 school year and remain over capacity for the next five years. In contrast, other elementary campuses are expected to have enrollment levels about 100 students below capacity during that same period. The proposed boundary adjustments are being made to help balance enrollment across elementary campuses:

• Elementary Boundary Adjustment Plans

CSISD is proposing adjustments to intermediate/middle school attendance boundaries to help balance both student enrollment and the proportion of economically disadvantaged students across campuses, per CSISD Board Policy FC (Local).

Note: Intermediate and middle school boundaries fall on the same lines.

Intermediate Schools

Current projections show an enrollment imbalance over the next several years. Cypress Grove Intermediate, with a capacity of 920 students, is expected to enroll only 530–589 students between now and 2030–2031. During the same time period, Oakwood and Pecan Trail Intermediates are projected to operate with enrollments around 740–820 students.

Middle Schools

Currently, Wellborn Middle School is projected to operate near capacity, while A&M Consolidated and College Station Middle Schools will have significant available space over the next several years. For example, by the 2025–2026 school year, Wellborn is expected to have 831 students (capacity 925), compared to 646 at A&M Consolidated (capacity 920) and 565 at College Station Middle (capacity 940).

No. The district is not proposing adjustments to high school attendance boundaries.

Yes. CSISD Board Policy FC (Local) details priorities for boundary adjustments, the first being to "provide a comparable demographic balance of students." In addition, the policy gives guidance on considering the percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with specific considerations for intermediate, middle, and high schools:

Excerpt from CSISD Board Policy FC (Local) – Comparable Composition:

The administration shall provide the Board with the current proportion of economically disadvantaged students at each school. 

For intermediate and middle schools, if there is a difference in the current proportion of economically disadvantaged students among the campuses on the same level that is equal to or greater than 15 percentage points, then such schools shall not be considered to have comparable composition. 

For intermediate and middle schools, if there is a difference in the proportion of economically disadvantaged students among campuses on the same level that is between ten and 15 percentage points, then the administration shall make recommendations to the Board about the actions to be taken, if any, to address issues created by such difference and to prevent the difference from increasing to the level that would be considered to cause a lack of comparable composition. 

For comprehensive high schools, if there is a difference in the current proportion of economically disadvantaged students between the campuses that is equal to or greater than 12 percentage points, then such schools shall not be considered to have comparable composition. 

For comprehensive high schools, if there is a difference in the proportion of economically disadvantaged students between campuses that is between seven and 12 percentage points, then the administration shall make recommendations to the Board about the actions to be taken, if any, to address issues created by such difference and to prevent the difference from increasing to the level that would be considered to cause a lack of comparable composition. 

When percentage point differences in economically disadvantaged students fall in the ten- to 15-point range for intermediate and middle schools or in the seven- to 12-point range for high schools, further study is warranted.

Yes. CSISD has historically considered "grandfathering" in the following instances:

1. New high schools generally open without a junior or senior class; therefore, juniors and seniors when the new school opens may remain at their former schools. 
2. When high school attendance boundary adjustments are not related to the opening of a new high school, students shall be given the opportunity to start and remain at one high school for the student's entire high school career.
3. When a new elementary, intermediate, or middle school opens, students entering their last year on that campus (grades 4, 6, or 8) may continue at their former school.
4. Transportation for "grandfathered" students who live outside of a school's attendance area shall not be provided, unless deemed appropriate by the District.

While boundary adjustments for 2026-27 are not in response to the opening of a new school, the district will make similar considerations for "grandfathering" in the proposed adjustment plans. More information is forthcoming as the process is ongoing.

Final boundary adjustment recommendations for K-8 campuses will be presented to the Board of Trustees by November 2025.

The boundary adjustments will go into effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
