Welcome to the NISD Boundaries and Buses Information System
You may search for the current school assignment, bus route information, and any future Board adopted boundary changes by entering the student’s street number and street name and following the prompts. The information provided below is a brief overview of NISD information regarding boundaries and transportation, with more detailed transportation department information available by clicking on the link at the end of this page.
NISD: School Boundaries Adopted by NISD Board of Trustees
Attendance areas for District schools are adopted by the Board. After reviewing an administrative proposal and conducting public hearings, a School Boundary Advisory Committee composed of citizens recommends the school boundaries to the Board. Because NISD continues to experience rapid enrollment growth, school boundaries change frequently.
School Assignment Information
Northside ISD assigns students to schools according to the street address where the student resides. You may contact the Office of Pupil Personnel at (210) 397-8695 or review the Student-Parent Handbook sections titled Intradistrict Transfers and Continued Enrollment (page D-6) for District policy information regarding transfers.
Enrollment Caps
At the elementary school level, schools are organized into clusters. It is possible that space may not be available at the assigned campus. Please contact the individual schools for registration information. In the event space is not available, the student will receive transportation to a designated cluster campus. At middle and high schools, any campuses closed to enrollment (capped) will be indicated on the school assignment information pages (results of a search by address).
Please direct any BOUNDARY questions regarding this site to maps@nisd.net or (210) 397-8589. |

Transportation
Northside School District will provide transportation for any student who lives more than two miles away from school, or for which there is a certified hazardous situation noted in compliance with TEC, Section 42.155.
Students will not be permitted to have "fluctuating schedules." This means that students will not be permitted to have certain days of the week on which to pick-up or drop-off at one location, and then another location the rest of the week. Fluctuating schedules introduce too much of a risk for safety to the student by the driver delivering the student to the wrong location.
Route Management
Regular Routes: The District has established certain criteria to determine the use of various locations for bus stops within District boundaries. While each route composition is unique, the typical walk-to-bus stop distances are provided below to facilitate a timely and an effective route system.
