In the northeast portion of NISD, specifically in the Cox, Beck and Daniel elementary school zones, five new subdivisions have been completed or are in the works that have added nearly 5,000 new homes to this area alone in recent years. NISD serves a portion of Roanoke, which has also seen increased growth. Residential growth in the area has been driven by jobs and the AllianceTexas corridor, Roanoke Mayor Scooter Gierisch said. He estimated there were close to 8,000 jobs in Roanoke itself and more in the surrounding area. “Those folks have to live somewhere, and so a lot of folks from those companies locate in and around Roanoke,” he said. “But it’s not just those two areas.” Growth is occurring across NISD, which serves more than 31,000 students across 14 communities. As the growth continues, NISD’s demographers are able to forecast it and pinpoint where more schools are needed, Gierisch said.
