General Cap and Overflow
-
What is cap and overflow?
In Fort Bend ISD, "cap and overflow" is the process that occurs after a school's enrollment reaches capacity and new students are then directed to attend a nearby school(s) that has (have) available space.
-
How long will this cap and overflow be in place?
Neill Elementary will be in cap and overflow until further notice.
-
For students overflowed to Oakland Elementary or Pecan Grove Elementary, what happens if they are rezoned to another campus in the future?
If a student is rezoned, the student would go to the newly zoned campus, unless they met exceptions provided in Policy. Please see Policy FC (Local).
-
Is there a waiting list at Neill Elementary for grades 1-5, if a space becomes available?
There is no waiting list at Neill Elementary for grades 1-5, as the campus is at capacity. Newly enrolled kindergarten students can enroll for the 2025-26 school year.
-
Why were Oakland Elementary and Pecan Grove Elementary designated as the overflow campuses?
Oakland Elementary and Pecan Grove Elementary are close to Neill Elementary and have the available facility capacity for additional students. In addition, these campuses allow for a fiscally responsible option that flows into current bus routes based upon the home residence.
