Attendance Zone

Crandall ISD serves students who live within the District's attendance zone. Your child’s permanent, primary residence must be in Crandall ISD to attend CISD Schools. Residence requires living in the district and having the present intention to remain there. Crandall ISD does not accept out-of-district transfers or fees to enroll out-of-district students.

Attendance zones are reviewed each year in Crandall ISD to determine whether modifications are required for the following school year. Changes are made to effectively utilize space and balance enrollment in existing schools, as well as draw attendance zones for any new schools opening the following year. Several considerations are factored, including student safety, walk zones, transportation, class size, projected demographics, etc.

At the January 2023 school board meeting, proposed changes to one attendance zone were presented to Trustees. Prior to the meeting, the demographic team worked to evaluate how to best balance campus enrollment while impacting the least amount of students possible. The proposal impacts 500 students who will have a shorter walk to school and no longer cross a main thoroughfare in the Heartland subdivision.

The rapid growth requires both long and short-term planning and balanced responsible management of time, money and resources. The District employs and in-house demographer team, as well as an experienced outside consulting group, to monitor growth in neighborhoods, new construction and population trends.

What is the District doing to effectively utilize campus space and resources?

If my student is rezoned, will it be the only time?

CISD reviews attendance zones each year to effectively utilize space, balance enrollment and meet the needs of growth. Boundary modifications can occur in areas that are actively growing, as well as older, more established neighborhoods. It is possible a neighborhood may be moved to a new or existing campus multiple times, depending on building needs and enrollment trends.
