Despite the economic downturn caused by COVID-19, demographic reports show that builders in the surrounding area are having a record year.
What does that mean for Northwest ISD? Demographers say that the district’s enrollment will likely exceed 32,000 students in the next five years. The district's current enrollment is more than 25,500 students.
NISD works with demographers in an effort to create the most effective plan to serve students and families as our district grows, said Tim McClure, assistant superintendent for facilities.
“We are dedicated to using taxpayer dollars wisely, so it’s critical that we know where new developments are being planned and when the houses are being constructed,” he said.
Northwest ISD continues to be one of the fastest growing in the state. The district is ranked eighth in Texas in student enrollment growth, according to the most recent data (2018-2019) from the Fast Growth School Coalition. This coalition has identified 81 fast-growth districts in Texas that meet specific criteria.
