"Established in 1949 by the consolidation of 12 rural school districts, Northside today is 355 square miles of urban landscape, suburban communities, and rural Texas hill country. As South Texas’ largest school system, Northside is the “Destination District” for thousands of families wanting a high quality school system. This is supported by the fact that an additional 2,000 students enrolled in NISD in 2012, and projections show that this trend will continue for the foreseeable future.
Located in the northwest quadrant of San Antonio, Texas, Northside Independent School District, the state’s fourth largest school district with enrollment at 99,372, is in the heart of the most rapidly growing area of Bexar County. , Northside is continuing to grow by about 3,000 students a year. Though enrollment growth is expected to slow down slightly, the District must continue to open new schools and classroom additions every year to ensure that all students are accommodated.

As a family-friendly District, the emphasis is on children and families.
