Intermediate & Junior High Boundaries 2025-2026
Magnolia Independent School District (MISD) is one of the fast growing school districts in the greater Houston area. With the growth and the new schools from the November 2022 Bond, it is necessary to evaluate the attendance boundaries of our schools. Intermediate and Junior High #3 are scheduled to open in August 2025.

The reasons for evaluating the boundaries are to:
- accommodate the opening of Intermediate #3 and Junior High #3 to meet the demands of our growing population, and
- to accommodate shifts/growth in populations that occur over time.
With fast growth, we need to plan for the future
Every time a new school opens, the district evaluates its boundaries to balance enrollment. The process takes approximately one calendar year as we review home developments and enrollment patterns, identify possible school zone options, review transportation needs and much more. Here in MISD, students attend school based on where they live. Some campuses provide unique and specialized programs and your student may be required to attend a different campus.
Attendance Boundaries Guiding Principles
MISD is expected to continue to grow as the area attracts new master-planned developments. MISD believes in being responsible stewards of our taxpayer dollars, and many considerations are given during the process, including maximizing the efficient and effective use of facilities to reduce overcrowding, balance enrollment and plans for future growth while being responsive to parent input.
