If you’re looking for a school district that offers exceptional opportunities and cutting-edge programs, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD is the place to be. Here are just a few reasons why transferring to ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD is a game-changer for your child:
〉STEM Education Starts Early
¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD is a pioneer in STEM education, offering district-wide STEM curriculum starting in pre-K for all 4-year-olds. In fact, the district was the first in Texas to implement such a comprehensive STEM program for its youngest learners. And the best part? Pre-K is FREE for all 4-year-olds!
Thanks to the support of voters, all ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD elementary schools are equipped with two state-of-the-art STEM labs. Additionally, the district’s 2019 Bond passed funding to build age-appropriate, ADA-accessible playgrounds at every elementary school– creating spaces where children can explore, learn and grow.
For students passionate about the arts, every ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD school also boasts a dedicated strings room, where instruments are provided free of charge to all students.
〉Athletic Opportunities Like No Other
Sports in ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD start early, with junior high athletics offered at all 10 of our campuses. Whether your child dreams of competing in tennis, wrestling or a wide range of other sports, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD has the program. What sets us apart? Junior high student-athletes are coached by varsity-level head coaches, ensuring high-quality instruction and mentorship.
For swimmers, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD is home to a state-of-the-art natatorium complete with an Olympic-sized pool – located in the heart of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµâ€™s entertainment district. In 2024 alone, over 100 ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD student-athletes earned more than $6 million in scholarships during our Signing Day ceremony.
〉Why Junior High is Key
To fully take advantage of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD’s specialized programs, transferring before ninth grade is essential. Why? Because that’s when students can apply for one of our early college high schools or the STEM Academy at Martin High School.
Additionally, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD offers four P-TECH programs, where students can earn up to 60 hours of free college credit and earn workplace certifications in health sciences, business administration, logistics, engineering, cybersecurity and computer-aided design – all at no cost.
As students move into high school, they’ll have the opportunity to explore a range of career pathways at our Dan Dipert Career and Technical Center [CTC], where they can take courses that lead directly to high-demand jobs in fields like technology, healthcare and trades.
〉A Community Committed to Excellence
¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD is proud to be supported by a community that is deeply invested in its schools. Thanks to a $966 million bond passed in 2019 (building on the success of the 2014 Bond), we’ve been able to expand and enhance our facilities. Our district is home to the CTC and the Dr. Marcelo Cavazos Center for Visual and Performing Arts, an unmatched facility that provides students with a premier fine arts education.
These investments are just the beginning. With new schools, extensive campus updates and a commitment to providing students with the best possible learning environments, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ ISD continues to create opportunities for success.
