Elementary School will feed into Adams Middle School. Boundaries for schools like Hatfield Ele- mentary and Prairie View will also change based on future home development. Multiple housing developments within the district, including Alpha Ranch and Madero, are expected to continue to impact district growth, according to the most recent report from Zonda Demographics. Bob Templeton with Zonda presented to the district board Dec. 8 and said the Alpha Ranch development should start moving along by the summer. “When we get to the next school year, there will definitely be activity with new housing,” he said. School officials said Romer Elementary’s stu- dent enrollment is starting off at a lower number in preparation for the new housing developments.
Worthington Middle School, which is currently overcapacity, will go from a projected 1,305 students to 1,141 next school year with the new attendance boundaries, according to district data. Carter Elementary School is expected to go from a projected 874 students to 613 for the upcoming school year, while Pike Middle School will go from a projected 1,267 students to 845. Other schools would have reached overcapacity in 2028 without the changes. Prairie View Ele- mentary in Rhome is expected to go from 900 to 691 students in 2028, while Chisholm Trail Middle School in Rhome will go from 1,214 projected students to 899. With new housing developments going up in NISD, parts of Chisholm Trail Middle School will now go to Pike Middle School while Berkshire

Alpha Ranch is expected to have 3,978 total lots, with 1,300 homes to be completed in the first phase of the development, according to Zonda Demographics. Tosie said students in Alpha Ranch will eventually go to Romer and Carter elementary schools. Romer is located in the Madero community, Tosie said. The community currently is expected to bring roughly 38 students for every 100 new homes. The neighborhood currently has 696 occupied homes and 444 vacant developed lots. Pecan Square, one of the communities nearing build-out by Barksdale Middle, is expected to bring about 47 students for every 100 homes, per Zonda Demographics. It currently has 2,129 occupied homes and 317 vacant developed lots. NISD is expected to change its attendance boundaries again when Davis High School, the district’s fourth high school, is completed ahead of the 2027-28 school year. Officials said Davis will receive students from Tidwell and Worthington middle schools. “It’s just something with a fast-growth school district,” Stewart said. “We can’t promise you’re going to attend the same campus throughout your career.”
