Northwest ISD
Located in the northwest area of the DFW metroplex, Northwest Independent School District has a vision of empowering learners and leaders to positively impact the world. Our core belief is kids come first. At 234 square miles, Northwest ISD is one of the largest school districts in land mass and spans three counties (Tarrant, Denton, and Wise) and 14 municipalities.
NISD is one of the fastest-growing school districts in North Texas and adds about 1,200 new students each year. For the 2021-22 school year, we project an enrollment of more than 27,000 students and will operate 31 campuses and facilities, including 20 elementary schools, six middle schools, three comprehensive high schools, and one accelerated high school. Our district’s growth is a result of several factors: the size of the school district; the number of active housing developments; and the attractive housing, retail, and business industries in the immediate area.
