Frequently Asked Questions will be updated on an ongoing basis to ensure that the community receives the latest information for attendance boundaries. Thank you.
-
Q. Why are boundary changes necessary?
A. Due to the continued enrollment growth in FBISD, school boundaries are implemented to alleviate overcrowding at existing schools to ensure the effective and equitable delivery of student-centered academic programs and curriculum.
-
Q. Can I transfer my child to a campus other than the campus our address is zoned to?
A. Special Circumstance Transfers are based on specific criteria and transportation is not provided. Please see the Student Affairs webpage for further information.

Q. I am new to the southeast area of the District and my 12th grade student is zoned to Almeta Crawford High School. Which school will my student attend?
A. Students zoned to Almeta Crawford High School that will be in the 12th grade in 2024-25 will attend Ridge Point High School.
-
Q. If I am a currently approved intra-district transfer, how do the boundary changes affect me?
A. Students currently attending an elementary, middle or high school campus through an approved intra-district transfer will remain at their current campus until completion of the highest grade offered at that campus.
-
Q. Is the district keeping the 2-mile radius rule?
A: The “2-mile radius” is used by the District’s Transportation Department regarding students living within the 2-mile driving distance from the school, and therefore ineligible for bus transportation. Due to increased growth, the District’s Enrollment Management strategy includes certain feeder patterns having an enrollment cap placed on a campus with newly enrolling students who live beyond the 2-mile driving distance to be re-directed to the assigned overflow campus. The 2-mile driving distance is not a Decision Principle outlined in Policy FC Local. Therefore, it is not a primary strategy used for Boundary Planning to establish or adjust boundaries. Enrollment Management and Boundary Planning are not one in the same.

Q. Where can I find my bus route for my address?
A. Transportation provides a Bus Route Locator to provide a specific attendance zone and bus route information for each home address.
