Apply to Enroll
North East ISD is Opening Its Boundaries!
For the first time, families outside NEISD boundaries can apply to attend all of our schools beginning with the 26–27 school year. Be the first to apply!
What This Means for Your Family
- You no longer have to live within NEISD boundaries to attend our schools.
- Students entering Kindergarten through 12th grade may apply to attend an NEISD school through our application process.
- Admission is based on available space at each campus and grade level, and therefore is not guaranteed.
PLEASE NOTE: Magnet programs require a separate application.
Who Can Apply?
Families Outside NEISD
You can apply for your child to attend an NEISD school—even if you do not live within district boundaries.
Current NEISD Students Who Move Out of the District
If your student moves outside NEISD boundaries, they may still be able to attend:
During the school year: Your student may remain at their current school through the end of the year.
Over the summer: You may apply for your student to continue attending NEISD for the upcoming school year.
