About Northside Independent School District
Northside ISD is the fourth-largest school district in Texas, serving over 100,000 students across more than 100 campuses. Despite its size, the district maintains strong academic outcomes — offering a breadth of programs that smaller districts simply cannot match, including magnet schools, dual-language programs, fine arts academies, and career & technical education centers.
The district covers a diverse geographic area: from the Hill Country community of Helotes in the northwest, through the scenic Leon Springs corridor on I-10, and into well-established neighborhoods in northwest San Antonio. No matter your budget or lifestyle preference, there is a Northside ISD community that fits.
