Frequently Asked Questions will be updated on an ongoing basis to ensure that the community receives the latest information for attendance communities (boundaries). Thank you.

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. Our household is being impacted by the boundary changes. Can my student remain at their current campus in the 2023-24 school year?
A. Households impacted were provided the opportunity to request to remain at their current campus without transportation; however, the deadline for such was March 29, 2023. Per Policy FDB(Local), in Fort Bend ISD, each student shall attend the school in the attendance zone in which he or she resides.
-
Q. If my student is in cap and overflow, and we decide to remain at current campus, will I get transportation? (NOTE: This question applies to all cap and overflow campuses except HHS)
A. If parents elect to keep their student at their current campus, District-provided transportation will not be provided.
-
Q. My student is a current 10th and/or 11th grader (rising 11-12th grade) in cap and overflow at Hightower High School and our household is being impacted by the boundary changes to Almeta Crawford High School. Can my student remain at Hightower High School?
A. Yes. All students that will be in 11th and 12th grade in 2023-2024 and zoned to Almeta Crawford High School will remain at Hightower High School as Almeta Crawford High School will only be opening with 9th and 10th grade students. Transportation will continue to be provided. Parents of these students do not need to complete any forms.
-
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.
